salvager

/ˈsæɫvɪdʒɝ/ noun

A person who engages in salvage work.

Word Origin Salvager comes from Latin salvus 'safe, unharmed'—the idea is rescuing something from loss or damage. The -age suffix (as in storage, wreckage) turns the verb into a noun, and -er makes it the person. Related words: save, safe, salvation, and salve (a healing ointment, something that makes you safe).
