dispellers
Those who scatter
Those who dispel—who drive away or cause to vanish.
Dispellers scatter things that have gathered or accumulated: dispellers of darkness, dispellers of myths, dispellers of gloom.
The word appears most often in religious or literary contexts, describing those who banish ignorance, fear, or evil.
