Allegorizer

/ˈæləɡəraɪzər/ noun

Definition

A person who allegorizes or interprets things as allegories.

Etymology

From 'allegorize' plus the suffix '-er' meaning 'one who does'. English agent noun formation from verbs, widely used since the Middle English period.

Kelly Says

An allegorizer is kind of like an overactive symbol-finder—they look at Winnie the Pooh and insist Piglet represents capitalist greed and Eeyore embodies existential despair. Sometimes they're brilliant, sometimes they're hilarious!
