A person or thing that annoys; someone who deliberately or consistently causes irritation.
From 'annoy' plus the common agent suffix '-er,' creating 'annoyer' (one who annoys). Dates back to at least the 1500s in English.
Every classroom has 'the annoyer'—that one kid who always knows exactly how to get under everyone's skin. The word perfectly captures an active, persistent quality.
