A person who is being examined or tested; a candidate undergoing an examination.
From Latin examinans (examining), the present participle of examinare. The -ant suffix indicates someone undergoing or experiencing an action.
The -ant suffix works alongside -ent, -ee, and -er to create different perspectives on who's involved in an action—'examinant' emphasizes the person being examined, putting the focus on the test-taker rather than the test-giver!
