Egressor

/ɛˈɡrɛsər/ noun

Definition

One who egresses; a person or thing that exits or goes out.

Etymology

From egress plus the agent suffix -or (from Latin -or), which forms nouns meaning 'one who does' the action.

Kelly Says

This is an extremely rare word—dictionaries barely include it because we just say 'person leaving' instead—but it's a perfect example of how English can generate words by stacking suffixes, even if nobody actually uses them.
