A bender is a person or thing that bends something else. To bend something is to change its shape or direction without breaking it. The element benders are shaping and turning the elements to their will.

  • Note that we also have the phrase "to bend reality to one's will", which means "to change reality such that it's as one wishes". "Bender" in "Airbender" as a similar meaning, basically changing something.

  • The ideas @JustinStafford wrote are like separated in two words (pipe, bender). Why is Airbender one word? It is correct to say something like 'Timebender' (Meaning 'A master of time') ?
