2021-11-15 14:46:38 PARTYGOER - HOW TO USE SUFFIX ‘GOER’

The suffix -goer is added to nouns to form nouns that mean "a person who (regularly) attends or goes to (the place mentioned)'':

church + -goer → churchgoer (= a person who regularly attends church).

theatregoer, concertgoer, playgoer, filmgoer, etc.

Be careful with the word GOER. In UK slang it means “A person, often a woman, who enjoys sexual activity”.
