pitier
One who commiserates
A pitier is someone who feels or expresses pity.
The word is rare, appearing mostly when emphasizing the act of pitying as a role: She became the pitier rather than the pitied.
It can carry a slightly condescending edge, since pity often implies looking down on its object.
