crossers
Those who traverse
Crossers are people or things that cross—whether crossing borders, lines, or boundaries.
The term appears most often in compound forms: border crossers attempting illegal entry, fence crossers in politics who switch parties, or line crossers who violate social norms.
In sports, a crosser is a receiver running a crossing route across the field.
