minimiser
Makes things smaller
Minimiser is the British spelling of minimizer.
In computing, a minimiser is a button or function that shrinks a window to the taskbar.
In fashion, a minimiser bra reduces the apparent size of the bust.
More generally, someone who minimises problems or concerns is a minimiser: He's such a minimiser—he acts like nothing is ever a big deal.
