Canceller

/kænˈsɛlər/ noun

Definition

A person or device that cancels something; one who nullifies, calls off, or erases.

Etymology

From cancel + -er (suffix forming agent nouns). The -er suffix indicates 'one who performs an action.'

Kelly Says

Stamp cancellers in postal services literally cross over stamps with ink—they're continuing a 2,000-year-old Latin tradition of marking things invalid with crossing lines.
