People or things that break up, destroy, or stop something; often used with a prefix like 'ghost-' or 'block-'.
From 'bust' (to break or cease), the '-er' suffix creates an agent noun (someone who does the action), while '-s' pluralizes it. The word became popular in American English in the 19th century.
The term 'buster' became a cultural phenomenon with 'Ghostbusters' in 1984, showing how a simple suffix can transform a basic verb into an exciting, catchphrase-worthy term that defines entire movies!
