Expeller

/ɪkˈspɛlər/ noun

Definition

A person or thing that drives out, forces away, or removes something.

Etymology

From 'expel' + '-er' (one who does the action). The '-er' suffix marks the agent or doer, from Latin 'expellere.'

Kelly Says

An expeller could be a school administrator removing a student, a bouncer removing a patron, or even a machine designed to extract oil from seeds—the word doesn't care about morality, just the action!
