criticizer

/kɹˈɪɾɪsˌaɪzɚ/ noun

A person who criticizes; a carper or faultfinder.

Word Origin From Greek krinein 'to separate, judge' — a critic is one who separates the good from the bad. The same root gives us criterion (a standard for judging) and critical (decisive). Criticizer is someone who engages in that judging, often negatively. The PIE root *krei- meant 'to sieve', so judging is like sifting through.
