the unsung hero standing between your spaghetti and a flooded kitchen floor.
means A drainer is a device or surface — often a perforated basket or ridged board beside the sink — that lets water run off food or dishes while keeping the solids behind.
from From the verb 'drain,' which goes back to Old English 'dreahnian,' meaning to strain or filter off liquid — itself rooted in the same family as 'dry.' The '-er' is the plain workaday suffix that turns an action into the thing that does it, so a drainer is, quite literally, 'the thing that drains.'
