Etymology

From gourmandize plus the agent noun suffix '-er'. This creates a noun describing the person who performs the action of gourmandizing.

Kelly Says

English's '-er' suffix is so powerful that you can attach it to almost any verb to create 'the person who does that thing'—a gourmandizer is literally 'one who gourmandizes,' showing English's elegant word-building system.
