Definition
A device or agent that extinguishes something, particularly fire; another term for fire extinguisher.
Etymology
From Latin 'extinctor' (one who extinguishes, from 'extinguere'). This term was used in English from the 17th-19th centuries but has been largely superseded by 'extinguisher.'
Kelly Says
Old fire safety manuals would refer to 'extinctors' rather than 'extinguishers'—the Latin-based version sounds more dramatic and technical, which is exactly why people preferred it back then!
