Usage Notes
消费者 is built from 消费 (to consume/spend) plus the suffix 者 (person who does something). It is the standard term in economics and marketing for a consumer. The related term 消费 (xiāofèi) alone means consumption or spending.
Memory Hook
消费 means "to consume/spend" and 者 means "person who": a 消费者 is simply the person who consumes, the buyer.
