Funster

/ˈfʌnstər/ noun

Definition

A person who enjoys having fun and seeks out enjoyable activities, or someone known for being playful and light-hearted.

Etymology

A modern colloquial formation combining 'fun' with the English agent suffix '-ster' (one who does something), popularized in the 1980s-1990s as casual slang for fun-loving individuals.

Kelly Says

The '-ster' suffix has a wild history: it gave us 'gangster,' 'hipster,' and 'prankster,' often starting as playful slang before becoming mainstream words—'funster' continues this tradition of English constantly inventing new personality labels.
