jeerer

/ˈd͡ʒiɹə(ɹ)/ noun

One who jeers; a mocker.

Word Origin Jeerer comes from jeer, which is probably from Dutch gieren 'to cry, howl, roar', of imitative origin. The -er suffix makes it 'one who jeers'. Jeeringly is the adverb. It's a vivid word: you can almost hear the mocking cry. The word entered English in the 16th century, originally meaning to deride or mock with scornful shouts.
