Evader

/ɪˈveɪdər/ noun

Definition

A person who evades or avoids something, such as taxes, military service, or legal responsibility.

Etymology

From evade plus the agent suffix -er (one who performs an action). The -er suffix has been used in English since Old English times to create nouns for people performing actions.

Kelly Says

Tax evaders cost governments hundreds of billions annually, which is why countries now exchange banking information across borders—a practice that would've seemed impossible just 20 years ago.
