Etymology: "Mowers" is simply the plural of "mower," the form that takes the noun's regular English plural ending. The base word is "mow," an Old English verb meaning to cut down grass or crops with a scythe, and "mower" is the person or machine doing that cutting. Because the plural takes its ending from the singular, the same -er agent sense carries over into "mowers," whether they are people working a field or machines running across a lawn.

Synonyms: cutters, trimmers
