Etymology: "Roarers" is the plural of "roarer," a noun formed from "roar" and the suffix "-er." That ending has a long path into English: it comes from Latin "-arius," passed through Old French as "-ier," and reached Middle English as "-er." Old English had its own, earlier form, "-ere," which came from the same Latin source.
