surrenderers
Ones who quit
Surrenderers are those who surrender—people who give up, yield, or submit.
The word typically describes those who capitulate in conflict or competition: The surrenderers emerged from the bunker with hands raised.
It can also describe anyone who relinquishes control or resistance: surrenderers to temptation, surrenderers of their rights.
