Distrouser

/dɪsˈtraʊzər/ noun

Definition

A person who disrobes or removes clothing; one who disunites or separates. An archaic or rare term.

Etymology

From dis- (apart) plus rouser or trouser-related forms. This is an extremely rare word with uncertain etymology, possibly confusing 'rouse' with 'trousers' or relating to older clothing terminology.

Kelly Says

This word is so obscure it barely exists in modern dictionaries—it's a reminder that English has thousands of ghost words that were used once or twice centuries ago and then vanished, like dead-end evolutionary branches.
