Etymology: "Spewer" is a plain formation: the verb "spew" with the agent suffix "-er," which turns a verb into a noun for the one who performs the action. The suffix has a long ancestry. It descends from an ancient Indo-European pattern, passed through Proto-Italic and Latin "-arius," which meant something like "belonging to" or "connected with," and then reached English by way of Old French "-ier" and Middle English "-er." Old English already had its own form, "-ere," so English speakers were well equipped to attach the ending to native verbs. "Spew" itself is an older word than its suffix, and the noun is simply the action's performer. A spewer, in this sense, is anything that throws out a stream of matter with force, whether a person, a machine, or a natural feature. The word is transparent enough that its meaning is readable from its parts, which is why it needs little more explanation than its suffix.
