tilter
Mounted combat participant
A tilter is someone or something that tilts—that is, causes something to lean or slant, or engages in tilting.
Historically, a tilter was a participant in a tilt, the medieval jousting competition where mounted knights charged at each other with lances.
In modern usage, tilter more often appears in compound forms or technical contexts, such as a device that angles or inclines something: The table tilter made it easier to work on the large canvas.
