What does GETTER mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person or thing that gets, obtains, or acquires something, especially something specified or desired.
Getter is built simply from get plus the agent suffix -er, the same pattern seen in words like winner or finder, so it names whoever or whatever does the getting. In business slang a getter is someone skilled at bringing in new clients or deals, often praised as a good getter for a firm. The word also has a narrow technical sense in electronics, where a getter is a small amount of reactive metal placed inside a vacuum tube to soak up any leftover gas molecules. Outside that specialist use, getter mostly appears in informal descriptions of people who are effective at acquiring things, from customers to bargains.
