obscurer
One who hides
Obscurer is the comparative form of obscure: more difficult to see, understand, or find.
One path may be obscurer than another, one meaning obscurer than the rest.
Separately, an obscurer is someone or something that obscures—that hides, darkens, or makes less clear: The building was an obscurer of sunlight.
