Fetisher

/ˈfɛtɪʃər/ noun

Definition

One who practices fetishism; a person who has a fetish or creates objects of fetishistic devotion.

Etymology

From 'fetish' (Portuguese 'feitiço') plus the English agent suffix '-er' (one who does). This is a more direct English formation than the Latinate 'fetishist.'

Kelly Says

A 'fetisher' is someone who actively makes fetishes happen—they create or engage with them. It's subtly different from a 'fetishist' (who practices the system) or a 'fetichmonger' (who sells them). Language lets us distinguish different roles!
