What does RAZER mean in Scrabble?
noun
rare
One who razes something, especially a person or machine that demolishes buildings completely.
A razer does not simply damage a structure but brings it down to the ground, levelling it so that nothing usable is left standing; the word comes directly from the verb raze, meaning to destroy completely. It is a rare agent noun, used far less often than the verb itself, and modern writing usually prefers a fuller phrase such as demolition crew rather than the single word razer. Older texts use it more freely, both for people and for the machinery that clears a site.
How RAZER is used
Rare and mostly literary; modern writing tends to describe demolition workers or machines directly rather than call them a razer.
- The old chronicle names the general a razer of cities.
- A razer of the ancient walls, he left nothing but rubble behind.
- The wrecking ball earned its reputation as a tireless razer of old warehouses.
- Local legend remembered him only as the razer who levelled the fortress.
- The poem calls time itself a slow razer of every human work.
