assaulter

/æsˈɔltɚ/ noun

One who commits assault.

Word Origin From Latin ad- 'to, toward' and salire 'to leap' — an assault is literally a 'leap at' someone. An assaulter is the one doing the leaping. The same salire gives us insult (leap on), result (leap back), exult (leap out), and salient (leaping).
