attempter

/ætˈɛmptɚ/ noun

One who attempts.

Word Origin From Latin ad- 'to, toward' and temptare 'to try, test' — an attempter is someone who makes an attempt. The root temptare is related to the PIE *ten- 'to stretch', the same root that gives us tension, extend, and intend. So an attempt is literally a stretching toward something, and an attempter is one who stretches.
