arguer

/aʁ.ɡɥe/ noun

One who argues.

Word Origin Argue comes from Latin arguere 'to make clear, prove' — originally to shine light on something. The PIE root *arg- meant 'to shine, bright,' also giving us argent (silver, shining). So an arguer is one who tries to make things clear, though now it often means to dispute. Related: argument, arguable, and argumentative. The shift from 'prove' to 'dispute' is interesting.
