Besotter

/bɪˈsɑːtər/ noun

Definition

One who besots; a person or thing that causes intoxication or foolish infatuation.

Etymology

From 'besot' plus the agent suffix '-er,' meaning one who performs the action of besotting.

Kelly Says

The '-er' suffix creates agents from almost any transitive verb—'besotter' technically means 'one who besots,' showing how English can name any role by simply adding '-er'!
