Glimpser

/ˈɡlɪmpsər/ noun

Definition

One who catches a brief view or glimpse of something.

Etymology

From glimpse (to see briefly or partially) plus the agent suffix -er, which creates nouns for people who perform an action—like painter, teacher, or runner.

Kelly Says

This is a wonderfully rare word that emphasizes the *person* doing the glimpsing rather than the glimpse itself, making it perfect for describing someone who's a quick observer or catches details others miss.
