Definition
A person who bewrays or reveals the secrets or identity of another.
Etymology
From bewray plus the agent noun suffix '-er', creating a person-noun meaning 'one who bewrays.' Standard pattern in English for converting verbs to agent nouns.
Kelly Says
In medieval and Renaissance literature, a 'bewrayer' was a serious character flaw—someone who couldn't keep secrets. The word perfectly captures why betrayal was such a big deal in honor-based cultures.
