lacker

One who wants

A lacker is someone who lacks something—usually motivation, talent, or effort.

The word appears in compounds and phrases: a lacker of ambition, a lacker of basic skills.

It's uncommon and somewhat awkward, as English more naturally uses "someone who lacks" or specific terms like slacker.

Lacker also appears as an alternate spelling of lacquer, the glossy finish.
