One who consults; a person who seeks advice or information from others.
From consult plus -er (Old English suffix for 'one who does'). This agent noun describes the person asking the questions, unlike consultant who gives answers.
While we have 'consultant,' using 'consulter' for the person asking the questions fell out of favor—yet it's logically more accurate since you consult someone for information.
