Definition
Plural of blower; mechanical devices that move air or gas, or people who blow. Can also refer to leaf blowers, hair dryers, or industrial fans.
Etymology
From Middle English blowere, from Old English blāwere, derived from blāwan meaning 'to blow.' The agent suffix -er indicates one who performs the action, whether person or machine.
Kelly Says
The humble blower has revolutionized everything from autumn cleanup to hair styling, yet the word itself is wonderfully simple - just 'blow' plus 'er' for 'thing that blows.' Sometimes the most straightforward names are the most enduring.
