Addresser

/əˈdresər/ noun

Definition

A person who addresses others, such as a speaker or someone sending a message.

Etymology

From 'address' + '-er' (one who does), following English agentive naming patterns, developed as speaker terminology evolved.

Kelly Says

An 'addresser' is essentially anyone speaking to an audience—the word highlights the active role of the person communicating, which is why linguists and speech teachers use it to analyze who's actually doing the talking.
