Surface Forms

increaser singular
increasers plural

Morphology

increaser = increase (transparent) = increase + er

Formed from the verb 'increase' plus the agentive/nominal suffix '-er', so learners who know 'increase' can infer 'increaser' as a person or thing that increases.

Etymology

Increaser is built from increase + the ending -er, and increase comes from a root that means 'to grow', the same idea you see in a crescent moon that becomes larger. So an increaser is something or someone that makes things grow or become bigger.
