Confronter

/kənˈfrʌntər/ noun

Definition

A person who confronts another; someone who faces or challenges someone else directly.

Etymology

From English 'confront' plus the agent suffix '-er.' This straightforward formation creates a simple noun for one who performs the action of confronting.

Kelly Says

Interestingly, 'confronter' isn't commonly used—we prefer 'accuser' or 'challenger'—which might suggest confrontation isn't seen as a neutral activity but a loaded one.
