Garnisher

/ˈɡɑːrnɪʃər/ noun

Definition

A person or entity that applies garnishment to wages or property, or one who garnishes food with decorative elements.

Kelly Says

A garnisher could be either a fancy restaurant chef adding that fancy parsley to your plate, or a debt collector taking money from your paycheck—same word, very different contexts!
