Bargainer

/ˈbɑːrɡɪnər/ noun

Definition

A person who negotiates or haggle over prices and terms in a deal.

Etymology

From 'bargain' plus '-er' (from Old English), a productive suffix creating agent nouns (one who performs an action). The base 'bargain' comes from Old French via Germanic roots.

Kelly Says

The '-er' suffix is perhaps English's most prolific word-creator—you can add it to almost any verb to name the person who does it, which is why we have 'teacher,' 'singer,' 'builder,' and yes, 'bargainer.'
