Someone or something that claws; an animal with claws, or a person who uses their hands to scratch or grab.
From claw (to scratch) + -er (agent suffix). The -er suffix transforms the verb 'claw' into a noun describing something that performs the action of clawing.
The -er suffix is one of English's most productive tools for creating nouns—'clawer' follows the same pattern as 'runner,' 'teacher,' or 'singer.' It's why English can instantly create new job titles and descriptions.
