Drowner

/ˈdraʊnər/ noun

Definition

Someone or something that drowns another person or animal; a person who causes drowning or who is involved in a drowning incident.

Etymology

From 'drown' plus -er (agent suffix meaning 'one who' or 'that which'). While grammatically formed, this word is quite rare in modern English.

Kelly Says

This is a grammatically perfect English word formation (verb + -er = agent noun) that is almost never used because we have less harsh alternatives like 'person responsible for drowning'—showing how modern language avoids blame!
