- Someone who suppresses; "dictators are suppressors of free speech"
- A gene that suppresses the phenotypic expression of another gene (especially of a mutant gene)
- An electrical device for suppressing unwanted currents
- A suppressor, sound suppressor, sound moderator, or silencer, is a device attached to or part of the barrel of a firearm to reduce the amount of noise and flash generated by firing the weapon.
- (Suppressors) are most effective to the side and rear of the shooter, so a suppressor could be used by a sniper effectively.
- Anything that stops or inhibits, such as a FLASH SUPPRESSOR or sound suppressor (SILENCER, not "muffler"); derived from forced down. Compare SQUELCH.
- Mutations in suppressor genes are able to overcome (suppress) the effects of mutations in other, unlinked, genes. A common, and very useful, kind of suppressor mutation occurs within the gene encoding a tRNA molecule and results in a change in the tRNA's anticodon. ...
- A device used to reduce or eliminate unwanted actions in electric or electronics circuit. For example, a resistance conductor in, or a resistor in series with, a sparkplug cable, to suppress interference which would otherwise affect radio reception in and near the vehicle.
