Abaiser

/əˈbeɪzər/ noun

Definition

A person or thing that abases or lowers someone in dignity or status.

Etymology

From abase + -er (agent suffix). The -er suffix in English creates nouns for things that perform an action.

Kelly Says

This is a rare word because English speakers usually say 'one who abases' instead—but in older English texts, you'll find -er tacked onto almost any verb to name the doer!
