answerer
One who replies
An answerer is someone who answers—a person who responds to questions, challenges, or calls.
The word appears most often in contexts involving multiple respondents: Survey answerers were split on the issue.
In religious or philosophical discussion, an answerer may be one who provides solutions to objections or arguments.
