A person who escapes or has escaped from something, especially from confinement or danger.
From 'escape' plus the agent suffix '-er,' which makes the word mean 'one who escapes.' This straightforward formation has been used since the 1500s.
Famous escapers like Houdini turned the word into an art form—they didn't just escape, they mystified audiences by making the impossible look possible!
