ridiculer

/ɹˈɪdɪkjˌulɚ/ noun

One who ridicules.

Word Origin From Latin 'ridere' (to laugh) — so a ridiculer is literally someone who makes you laugh, but not in a nice way. The root gives us 'ridiculous' (laughable), 'deride' (laugh down at), and 'risible' (able to be laughed at). The morpheme breakdown 'ridicule+er' shows the agent suffix -er: one who ridicules.
