One who fries; a cooking implement used for frying, or a young chicken suitable for frying.
From 'fry' (Old French 'frire', from Latin 'frigere', to roast) plus the agent noun suffix '-er'. Can refer to a person, device, or the food itself.
A frier can mean three totally different things depending on context—the cook, the pan, or the chicken—which shows how agent nouns (-er) in English often expand to cover related concepts.
