plagiarizer

/plˈeɪdʒɚɹˌaɪzɚ/ noun

A person who plagiarizes

Word Origin Plagiarism comes from Latin plagiarius 'kidnapper' — literally 'one who snares'. The root plaga meant 'net', so a plagiarist originally was someone who stole people, then later stole words. A plagiarizer is one who does that. So plagiarizing is trapping someone else's work in your net.
