Attracter

/əˈtræktər/ noun

Definition

Someone or something that attracts; a person or thing that draws interest or attention (variant spelling of attractor).

Etymology

From Latin attrahere (ad- 'to' + trahere 'to draw, pull') + -er suffix marking an agent. Different spelling variant of the more common 'attractor.'

Kelly Says

Magnets are attracters—but so are you when you wear that cool outfit or tell a funny story; the same word describes a romantic crush and a magnet because both literally 'pull' things toward them!
