Definition

noun a debater who refutes or disproves by offering contrary evidence or argument

From confute + -er.

However they are their own confuters, for while they lay down in the schools that Aristides was as unjust as Phalaris, and Brasidas as great a craven as Dolon, and Plato actually as senseless as Meletus, in life and its affairs they turn away from and avoid one class as implacable, while they make use of the others and trust them in most important matters as most worthy people. — Plutarch's Morals, Plutarch
