Beveller

/ˈbɛvələr/ noun

Definition

British spelling of 'beveler'; a person or tool that cuts bevel angles.

Etymology

British variant spelling of 'beveler,' following British conventions of doubling the final consonant in agent nouns formed from verbs ending in a single consonant.

Kelly Says

British and American English split on doubling consonants—'beveller' vs 'beveler,' 'cancelled' vs 'canceled.' These tiny spelling differences actually reflect how the two languages evolved separately after 1776!
