expounders
Those who clarify
Expounders are people who explain or interpret something, especially at length or with authority.
The word carries a slightly formal or old-fashioned tone: expounders of constitutional law, expounders of religious doctrine.
It often implies someone who holds forth on a subject, whether genuinely knowledgeable or merely opinionated.
