Root Explanation

Flusher → The word 'flusher' is derived from 'flush' (from Middle English *flushe*, meaning to flow or rush out) and the suffix '-er' (meaning a person who). A flusher is a person or device that causes something to flow out, typically water in a toilet.

Memory Tip

Think of someone or something that makes water 'flow out' — that's what a flusher does.
