fosterer

/fˈɑstɚɹɚ/ noun

One who fosters; one who is designated to care for and nurture someone.

Word Origin Fosterer comes from 'foster' plus the agent suffix '-er'. 'Foster' itself goes back to Proto-Germanic 'fostuz' meaning food or nourishment — so to foster is literally to feed, to nourish. A fosterer is one who provides care and nourishment, like a foster parent. The PIE root *peh₂- also gives us pasture and pastor (a shepherd who feeds the flock).
