Eyrer

/ˈeɪ.rər/ noun

Definition

One who travels or wanders; possibly an archaic agent noun derived from 'eyr' or 'errant'.

Etymology

Formed with the '-er' suffix (indicating an agent or person performing an action), this word likely derives from 'eyr' or 'errant' roots, though usage is obscure.

Kelly Says

The '-er' suffix is one of English's most powerful word-making tools, turning verbs and adjectives into 'someone who does that thing'—'eyrer' is a ghost of this productive process!
