A person who comprehends or understands something; one who grasps the meaning of something.
From Latin 'comprehensor', an agent noun derived from 'comprehendere' (to grasp together). The suffix '-or' creates an active agent noun meaning 'one who comprehends.'
This is a wonderfully rare word that highlights how Latin created agents of verbs systematically—just as 'instructor' is 'one who instructs,' a 'comprehensor' is 'one who comprehends,' yet we almost never use it because English prefers 'reader' or 'listener' instead.
