A person or tool that removes burrs (prickly seed pods) from plants or fabric.
From the noun 'burr' (a rough, prickly seedcase) plus the agent suffix '-er'. The word burr itself comes from Old Norse 'burr', possibly imitating the sound or appearance.
Medieval textile workers used burrs to card wool into fluffy batches for spinning—so a burrer was essential to the cloth-making process long before modern factories existed.
