filterer

/fˈɪltɚɹɚ/ noun

A person who, or device that, filters

Word Origin Filterer is simply filter plus the agent suffix -er: one who filters. The root filtrum originally meant 'felt,' the material used for straining. So a filterer is someone who strains things, like a felt-maker might have done. The same root gives us filterable and filtration.

noun A person who, or device that, filters countable
