A tool or device designed to pull or remove something, especially something stuck or embedded.
From Latin 'extrahere' combining 'ex-' (out) and 'trahere' (to pull or drag). English added '-or' to make it the agent noun for something that does the extracting.
There are juice extractors, tooth extractors, screw extractors, even information extractors—the word is brilliantly generic because it just means 'the thing that pulls stuff out,' making it useful across every industry.
