Disputer

/dɪˈspjuːtər/ noun

Definition

A person who disputes or argues; one who engages in disagreement or debate.

Etymology

From dispute (verb) + -er (agent suffix). The -er suffix is Old English in origin and creates agent nouns meaning 'one who does X.'

Kelly Says

English speakers added -er to nearly everything to name professions and agents—baker, teacher, player—making it one of the most common ways we create new words. A disputer is simply 'one who disputes.'
