A person who receives benefits or gains advantage from something; one who benefits.
From 'benefit' (from Latin 'benefactum,' a good deed) plus the agent suffix '-er' (one who). Formed in Modern English as a variant of 'beneficiary.'
While 'beneficiary' is more official-sounding (used in wills and insurance), 'benefiter' is the casual word for anyone who gains from something—like students who are benefiters of scholarship programs!
