A person who officially witnesses something and confirms it is genuine or true, especially in legal or formal contexts.
From attest + -er (agent suffix). Attest derives from Latin attestari, combining ad- (to) and testari (to testify).
In medieval times, attesters were absolutely critical because most people couldn't read or write—they'd witness important documents or events and put their mark to prove they were there.
