Foller

/ˈfɑlər/ noun

Definition

A dialectal or archaic term for someone who follows, or a follower; used in some regional English variants.

Etymology

From 'follow' plus the agent suffix '-er' (one who does the action). This represents an older or regional formation that hasn't become standard in modern English.

Kelly Says

The existence of 'foller' alongside the standard 'follower' shows how English dialects branch in different directions—some regions keep older forms alive while others adopt new ones, creating a living museum of linguistic variation.
