Abrader

/əˈbreɪdər/ noun

Definition

A tool or person that abrades; something that wears away or scratches surfaces.

Etymology

From 'abrade' + '-er' (agent suffix meaning 'one who does'). Similar to how 'teacher' is one who teaches.

Kelly Says

A simple abrader—like a nail file or pumice stone—has been around for thousands of years, yet it's one of the most effective tools humans ever invented.
