Dejerator

/dɪˈdʒɛrəˌtɔr/ noun

Definition

A device or person that removes something by rejection or refuses to acknowledge something.

Etymology

From Latin 'deject' (to throw down) plus agent suffix '-ator'. The word combines the prefix 'de-' (down) with 'ject' (to throw), ultimately from the verb meaning to cast away or dismiss.

Kelly Says

This word is so rare that most dictionaries don't include it—it's a ghost word created by logical combination of Latin roots, showing how English allows speakers to build new words even when they're never actually used in real life.
