A person who commits an act, especially a crime; or one who officially commits someone to confinement.
From commit + -er (agent suffix). The word evolved to mean someone who performs the act of committing, whether literally or figuratively.
Committer is a loaded word in criminal justice—calling someone a committer establishes them as the active agent responsible for an act, which carries legal and moral weight.
