Pronunciation & Spelling
AmE pronunciations are given. 'gatherer' is /ˈɡæðərər/ ('gather' + '-er'). 'gather' (/ˈɡæðər/) matches the beginning but adds no final /ər/. 'rather' (/ˈræðər/) and 'father' (/ˈfɑːðər/) look like rhymes but have different vowel sounds. 'wanderer', 'murderer', and 'sufferer' share the final '-er' suffix and /ərər/ sound, but their stressed vowels differ, so none fully rhymes with 'gatherer'.
