Turn - move or cause to move in a circular direction wholly or partly around an axis or point


Er - a suffix serving as the regular English formative of agent nouns, being attached to verbs of any origin ( bearer; creeper; employer; harvester; teacher; theorizer).


"Ambiturner" made perfect sense the second I read it.
Perfect sense
