Definition
Plural of fainter; people or animals that faint or lose consciousness, or things that cause fainting.
Etymology
From 'faint' (to lose consciousness), derived from Old French 'feint' and Latin 'fingere' (to feign, pretend), plus '-er' suffix forming agent nouns. The connection to 'pretend' relates to the medical sense of apparent loss of consciousness.
Kelly Says
It's fascinating that 'faint' comes from the same root as 'feign'—historically, people weren't entirely sure whether someone had truly lost consciousness or was faking it, so the word literally means something like 'pretend unconsciousness,' which is medically pretty accurate!
