Agriculturer

/ˈæɡrɪˌkʌltʃərər/ noun

Definition

An archaic or rare term for a person who practices agriculture; a farmer or agriculturist.

Etymology

From agriculture with the agent suffix -er (one who practices). This is an older form that competed with agriculturist and agriculturalist but largely disappeared from standard usage.

Kelly Says

Agriculturer is almost a dead word, crowded out by the more popular agriculturist and agriculturalist—it's a reminder that English constantly creates and abandons new words as it searches for the best way to express an idea.
