Hallower

/ˈhæloʊər/ noun

Definition

One who hallows or makes something holy; a person who sanctifies or treats something as sacred.

Etymology

From 'hallow' (to make holy) with the -er agent noun suffix, creating a noun for one who performs the action of hallowing.

Kelly Says

The -er suffix creates 'doers'—'teacher,' 'worker,' 'hallower'—and it's so automatic that English speakers invented entirely new words like 'googler' as soon as Google became a verb.
