Forthbringer

/ˈfɔrθˌbrɪŋər/ noun

Definition

A person or thing that brings something forth; one who produces, reveals, or causes something to come into being.

Etymology

Agent noun formed from 'forthbring' by adding '-er' suffix. Follows the Old English pattern of creating nouns from verbs to denote one who performs the action, similar to 'singer' from 'sing'.

Kelly Says

This word shows how English naturally creates new nouns by adding '-er' to verbs—it's so productive that you could technically call anyone who creates anything a 'forthbringer,' which is why older English had such delightfully specific occupational terms!
