A person who engages in arguing or presents reasons and evidence to support a position.
From argue plus the suffix -er meaning 'one who does.' The word has been used since the 16th century to describe people who participate in debate or dispute.
Some of history's greatest arguers—from Socrates to Frederick Douglass—changed the world not with weapons but with the power to make people think differently.
No inherent gender bias, but agent role nouns can default masculine (generic 'he'). Standard agent nouns are neutral.
Use 'arguer' or 'person advancing an argument' — the word itself is inclusive.
