Filleter

/fɪˈlɛtər/ noun

Definition

A person or tool that removes bones from fish or meat to create fillets.

Etymology

From 'fillet' with the agent suffix '-er' added, following English word formation patterns where '-er' creates nouns describing someone who performs an action.

Kelly Says

A filleter could be either a chef with expert knife skills or a specially designed kitchen tool—the same word works for both because English lets '-er' attach to verbs flexibly.
