contemplator

[kɔn.tɛmˈpɫaː.toːr] noun

One who contemplates.

Word Origin From Latin templum, a sacred space marked out by an augur for observing omens. To contemplate is literally to 'mark out a space together' — to focus your attention within a defined mental temple. The -or suffix makes it the person who does this, so a contemplator is one who gazes intently, as if within a sacred precinct. Related words: temple, template (a pattern marked out).
