endeavorer
One who tries
One who endeavors—someone who makes earnest, sustained effort toward a goal.
The word emphasizes trying rather than succeeding: She was a tireless endeavorer, even when the odds were against her.
Less common than the verb endeavor, it appears mostly in formal or literary contexts.
