setter
One who establishes
A setter is a dog bred to locate game birds by freezing in position—"setting"—when prey is detected, alerting hunters to the quarry's location.
The major breeds are English, Irish, and Gordon setters, distinguished by their silky coats and keen noses.
More broadly, a setter is anyone or anything that sets: a trend setter, a record setter, a typesetter.
In volleyball, the setter is the player who positions the ball for attackers to spike.
