easer
One who alleviates
An easer is someone or something that eases—that makes a situation less difficult, painful, or tense.
The word appears most often in compounds: a pain-easer, a crowd-easer.
In specialized contexts, an easer may be a tool or mechanism designed to reduce friction or facilitate movement.
