A substance, spray, or machine used to remove ice from surfaces like roads, cars, and airplane wings.
From deice + -er (something that performs an action). This occupational suffix pattern (like 'teacher' or 'mixer') creates nouns for tools or agents that perform the verb deice.
Road salt is the most common deicer, but it costs us billions in environmental damage and corroded cars annually—so scientists keep inventing new alternatives like calcium magnesium acetate and beet juice.
