examiner
One who probes
An examiner is someone who conducts an examination—testing knowledge, inspecting documents, or investigating claims.
The word appears in formal contexts: a medical examiner determines cause of death, a bank examiner audits financial records, a patent examiner reviews applications.
In education, an examiner grades tests or conducts oral assessments.
