theorizer
One who hypothesizes
A theorizer is someone who forms theories or engages in theoretical speculation.
The term often carries a slightly dismissive tone, suggesting abstract thinking disconnected from practical concerns: He's more of a theorizer than a doer.
A theorizer may develop elaborate explanations without testing them against evidence.
