Crabber

/kræbər/ noun

Definition

A person who catches crabs, either for commercial purposes or sport.

Etymology

Agent noun formed from 'crab' plus the suffix -er, which creates nouns meaning 'one who does X.' This pattern has been used in English for over a thousand years.

Kelly Says

The -er suffix is so fundamental that English speakers can instantly understand 'crabber' even if they've never heard it before—it's one of the language's most productive and flexible morphological tools.
