Etymology: "Harmers" is simply the plural of "harmer", which is formed from "harm" with the suffix "-er", a combination that turns a verb or noun into a word for a person or thing that does something. Here, "harm" (an Old English word meaning injury or hurt) gains the agent ending to name those who inflict injury. The plural adds the ordinary "-s" that English uses for nouns like this, so "harmers" refers to more than one such person or agent at a time.

Synonyms: injurers, damagers, hurtful people, offenders
