Etymology
Bringer comes from the old English verb bring, which meant 'to carry' or 'to cause', plus the ending -er meaning 'one who does something'. So a bringer is a person or thing that carries, brings, or makes something happen, which is why we speak of a 'bringer of hope' or a 'bringer of rain'.
