Something (especially harsh winter weather or severe cold) that causes frostbite, or a person affected by frostbite.
Formed by adding the agent suffix '-er' (meaning 'one that does') to 'frostbite.' It follows the same pattern as words like 'biter,' 'fighter,' and 'player,' though this is not a commonly used term.
The '-er' suffix is one of English's most versatile tools—almost any verb can become 'a noun + -er' to mean 'something that does that action,' which is why kids can spontaneously understand words they've never heard, like 'question-asker' or 'frostbiter.'
