Cementer
/sɪˈmɛn.tər/noun
A person or thing that cements, joins, or makes something firm; also a device or substance used in cementing.
Did you know?Cementer is built from the same Latin root as cement, which traces back to *caementum*—rough stone or chips used in Roman building—so the word’s history is rooted in the brutal, physical act of locking matter together.
