Blindfolder

/ˈblaɪndˌfoʊldər/ noun

Definition

One who blindfolds someone; a person who covers another's eyes or obscures their understanding.

Etymology

From 'blindfold' (to cover eyes) plus the agent suffix '-er' (one who performs an action). The term refers to the person performing the action of blindfolding.

Kelly Says

The word 'blindfolder' is interesting because it points to something often overlooked—there's always *someone* doing the blindfolding. Historically, this might be a guard, an executioner, or metaphorically, someone spreading misinformation. The word reminds us that ignorance often has an agent.
