amender
One who corrects
An amender is someone who amends—who makes changes or corrections to improve something.
The word appears most often in legislative contexts, where amenders propose modifications to bills or laws: The amender withdrew her proposal after debate.
It can also refer to anyone who revises or repairs: an amender of broken relationships.
