deliberator
One who weighs
A deliberator is someone who engages in careful consideration or discussion before reaching a decision.
The term appears most often in legal contexts, where jurors serve as deliberators weighing evidence and arguments.
More broadly, it can describe anyone who thinks things through methodically rather than acting impulsively.
The deliberators returned to the jury room after lunch to continue their discussion.
