A person who exercises or practices something; one who is in training.
From Latin exercens, present participle of exercere (to exercise, train). This term combines the Latin root exerc- with the agent suffix -ent, meaning 'one who does.'
While 'exercent' is technically valid, English speakers preferred the simpler 'exerciser,' so this Latin-derived term mostly disappeared—showing how languages constantly prune their vocabulary.
