boycotter

/bɔj.kɔ.te/ noun

Someone who engages in a boycott

Word Origin Boycott comes from Captain Charles Boycott, an English land agent in Ireland in 1880 who was ostracized by the local community. His name became a verb meaning to refuse to deal with someone, and a boycotter is one who does that. It's a rare example of a word derived directly from a person's name, with the -er suffix simply meaning 'one who does.'
