Chuser

/ˈtʃuːzər/ noun

Definition

One who chooses or selects; an archaic or rare term formed from the verb 'chuse' with the agent suffix '-er'.

Etymology

From the archaic verb 'chuse' (choose) with the standard English agent suffix '-er,' which creates a noun meaning 'one who does X.' The word is extremely rare in historical texts and essentially obsolete in modern English.

Kelly Says

Words like 'chuser' reveal the flexibility of English—we can add '-er' to almost any verb to create an agent noun, so someone coined 'chuser,' but it never really stuck because 'chooser' worked better and became standard!
