Deboner

/diːboʊnər/ noun

Definition

A person or tool that removes bones from meat or fish.

Etymology

From 'debone' plus the agent suffix '-er' (from Old English '-ere'), which creates nouns for things or people that perform a specific action or function.

Kelly Says

The '-er' suffix is one of English's most versatile morphemes—'debone' becomes 'deboner,' just like 'teach' becomes 'teacher' and 'play' becomes 'player,' and it works with virtually any verb you throw at it.
