grimacer

/ɡʁi.ma.se/ noun

Someone who grimaces.

Word Origin Grimace traces back to a Proto-Germanic word for 'fierce, savage' — so when you grimace, you're making a fierce, distorted face. That's why grimacer literally means 'one who makes fierce faces.' The same root gives us grim and grimly, all carrying that sense of sternness.
