* Supporter: A person who supports something.

* Sustainer: A person or thing that provides support or sustenance.

-ive: This suffix is used to form adjectives that describe something that supports or helps. For example:

* Sustainable: Able to be supported or maintained over time.

-ment: This suffix is used to form nouns that represent the act or process of something. For example:
