means A device that produces heat, typically to warm a room, a person, or some other space.
from From "heat" plus the agent suffix "-er," marking the thing that does the heating. "Heat" itself reaches back to Old English "hætu," a noun built on the same Germanic root as "hot" — a cousin of Dutch "hitte" and German "Hitze." So the word is simply an honest job title: the one whose job is to heat.
