supposer

English

Etymology

suppose +‎ -er.

Noun

supposer (plural supposers)

1. One who supposes.
   • 1834, Sir James Mackintosh, History of the revolution in England in 1688

     It is evident, however, that such suppositions can do no more than illustrate the peculiar opinions of the supposer, and cannot prove that which, in the nature of things, they pre-suppose.
