Noun

alienator (plural alienators)

  1. A person who alienates.
    • 1820, Charles Lamb, “The Two Races of Men” in The London Magazine, Volume 2, No. 12, December 1820, p. 624,[1]
      To one like Elia, whose treasures are rather cased in leather covers, than closed in iron coffers, there is a class of alienators more formidable than that which I have touched upon; I mean, your borrowers of books—those mutilators of collections, spoilers of the symmetry of shelves, and creators of odd volumes.
