Definition
Information about a movie, book, or show that reveals surprises before someone sees it; also devices on cars that reduce wind resistance.
Etymology
From 'spoil' (to ruin) plus '-er' suffix. Applied to plot revelations in the internet age (1990s+), while 'spoiler' (aerodynamic device) has been automotive since the 1960s.
Kelly Says
The word 'spoiler' shifted meanings perfectly for the internet age—car spoilers literally 'spoil' airflow to control a vehicle, and plot spoilers 'spoil' the surprise a viewer wants.
