A person who asks someone questions, especially in an official or aggressive way, often to get information or a confession.
From Latin 'interrogare' (inter- meaning between, rogare meaning to ask), literally 'to ask between' or 'question repeatedly.'
Neuroscience shows that a skilled interrogator's questions can actually trick your brain into 'remembering' things that never happened—a phenomenon called false confessions!
