bypasser

One who circumnavigates

A bypasser is someone who passes by—a passerby viewed from the other direction.

The word is rare, with passerby strongly preferred in most contexts: A bypasser noticed the broken window.

Bypasser occasionally appears in technical contexts for something that circumvents or goes around an obstacle.
