Adorer

/əˈdɔːrər/ noun

Definition

A person who adores or loves someone or something intensely, or who worships with devotion.

Etymology

From Latin 'adorator' (one who worships), derived from 'adorare.' The '-er' suffix creates an agent noun meaning one who performs the action of adoring.

Kelly Says

An 'adorer' is different from a 'fan'—the word carries religious weight, suggesting a kind of love that borders on worship. When Shakespeare wrote of adorers, he was claiming his subject deserved sacred-level devotion.
