Depreter

/dɪˈpriːtər/ noun

Definition

One who depretes or depreciates (archaic); someone who reduces value or speaks ill of something.

Etymology

From deprete (archaic form of depreciate or devalue) + '-er' (agent suffix). This is an obsolete word from Early Modern English.

Kelly Says

Depreter is so old and rare that modern spell-check doesn't recognize it—it's a ghost word from when English was still deciding which Latin words to keep and which to abandon.
