Admonitionist

/ˌædməˈnɪʃənɪst/ noun

Definition

A person who practices or advocates admonishing as a method of instruction or correction.

Etymology

Admonition + -ist (suffix for someone who practices a doctrine or method). The -ist suffix typically implies a more committed or systematic approach than simple -er.

Kelly Says

An admonitionist would be someone who believes in admonishing as a philosophy or method—essentially a 'professional warner'—but like admonitioner, this word is so rare that most dictionaries don't include it.
