comers
People heading this way
Comers are people who arrive or approach: We greeted all comers at the door.
The word appears most often in set phrases.
All comers means anyone who shows up, without restriction: The tournament is open to all comers.
A new comer (usually spelled newcomer) is a recent arrival.
First comers get priority; late comers miss things.
