Meteorer

Meteorer is not a standard term in astronomy or meteorology. It appears rarely in published literature and is generally considered a misspelling or neologism related to meteor-related terms.

In some niche or fictional usages, meteorer may be used to mean a person who observes and records meteor activity, a device that detects meteors, or a fictional machine that produces meteor-like effects. There is no widely accepted definition, and the intended meaning is usually evident from context.

Etymology and usage notes show that meteorer is formed from the root meteoro- plus the agent-noun suffix -er, mirroring words such as observer or detector, but it lacks standard recognition in major dictionaries or glossaries.

For formal writing, it is advisable to replace meteorer with meteor, meteorologist, meteoroid, or meteorite as appropriate. If encountered in a text, check whether the author intended a known term or a coined term specific to a work of fiction or a typo.
