Fetisheer

/ˌfɛtɪʃˈɪr/ noun

Definition

A person who practices fetishism or engages with fetishes; one who is devoted to fetishes.

Etymology

From 'fetish' (Portuguese 'feitiço') combined with the suffix '-eer' (from French '-ier' and German '-eer' denoting one who practices or engages in something). This term emphasizes active participation.

Kelly Says

The suffix '-eer' usually carries a somewhat negative or dramatic connotation (auctioneer, buccaneer), so 'fetisheer' sounds more theatrical and intentional than 'fetishist.' Language choices reveal attitude!
