Dusters

/ˈdʌstərz/ noun

Definition

Plural of duster; items or garments used for dusting, or people whose job involves removing dust.

Etymology

Regular plural of 'duster' (one who dusts, or a tool for dusting), formed by adding '-s'. 'Duster' comes from 'dust' + '-er'.

Kelly Says

A 'duster' can mean three completely different things—a person who dusts, a dustcloth, or a dustcoat—so when someone says 'get the dusters,' context is everything, and this ambiguity has caused countless household misunderstandings!
