ers
Pronunciation: (ûrs, ârs), [key]—
n.
ervil.
ERS
Emergency Radio Service.
Also,E.R.S.-ers
a semantically empty suffix that creates informal variations of more neutral nouns and adjectives by processes of truncation identical to those of
-er 7 (
champers; preggers; starkers); unlike that suffix, however,
-ers is apparently productive, and words formed with it do not appear to belong to a restricted linguistic register, as university slang.
