expeller

/ɪkˈspɛlə/ noun

Someone or something that expels.

Word Origin 'Expel' is from Latin 'ex-' (out) and 'pellere' (to drive) — literally 'drive out.' An expeller is one who expels. The root 'pellere' gives us compel (drive together), impel (drive in), propel (drive forward), repel (drive back), and pulse (a driving beat). The PIE root *pel- means 'to push, beat,' and you can see it in 'felt' (beaten wool) and 'filter' (originally a felt strainer).
