Cheweler

/ˈtʃuːələr/ noun

Definition

One who chews; a person or animal that chews food or other substances.

Etymology

From chew + -er (agent suffix), a straightforward formation meaning 'one who chews,' though it's quite rare in modern usage.

Kelly Says

Words ending in -er are often colorful but forgotten—'cheweler' survives in historical texts but we now just say 'someone who chews,' showing how language prunes old formations.
