Exigenter

/ɪɡˈzɪdʒəntər/ noun

Definition

A person or entity that makes urgent demands or requires something essential.

Etymology

From exigent (demanding) plus the agent suffix -er, meaning 'one who makes demands.' This is a rare English formation based on the Latin exigent- stem.

Kelly Says

This is such a rare word that it barely exists in modern English — but if something is 'exigent,' an exigenter would logically be whoever or whatever is demanding it.
