Electric appliances that brown bread by heating it with electric wires, or the plural form of toaster.
From the verb 'toast' (to heat until brown), which comes from Old French 'toster' meaning to scorch or burn. The suffix '-er' was added to create the noun for the device that performs toasting, and '-s' makes it plural.
Toasters are a great example of how English creates tool names by adding '-er' to verbs—the device that toasts became a 'toaster,' just like something that cooks is a 'cooker.' This naming pattern is so powerful that we instantly understand new tools named this way!
