Boller

/ˈboʊlər/ noun

Definition

Someone or something that forms bolls, or in agriculture, a plant (especially cotton) that produces bolls.

Etymology

From 'boll' plus the agent suffix -er, meaning 'one that bolls' or 'one that produces bolls,' following standard English word formation for describing entities that perform an action.

Kelly Says

Cotton breeders spend years developing better boller varieties that mature bolls more evenly and reliably, because even distribution of bolls across a plant makes harvesting more efficient and economical.
