Abider

/əˈbaɪdər/ noun

Definition

A person who follows rules, complies with agreements, or stays in a location.

Etymology

From 'abide' + '-er' (agent suffix). The '-er' suffix transforms the verb into a noun describing someone who performs the action of abiding.

Kelly Says

An 'abider' is someone who plays by the rules, but this word is surprisingly rare in modern English—we usually just say 'someone who abides by' something rather than calling them an 'abider'!
