a device, often a crystal or prism, that polarizes light
Word origin
[1850–55; polarize + -er1]This word is first recorded in the period 1850–55. Other words that entered Englishat around the same time include: cloakroom, ethos, muggins, proletariat, segue-er is a suffix used in forming nouns designating persons from the object of their occupationor labor (hatter; tiler; tinner; moonshiner), or from their place of origin or abode (Icelander; southerner; villager), or designating either persons or things from some special characteristic or circumstance(six-footer; three-master; teetotaler; fiver; tenner)
