undoers

People who reverse

Undoers are people or things that undo—that reverse, unravel, or bring to ruin.

Someone who loosens knots is an undoer in the literal sense.

More often the word appears figuratively: Pride and impatience were his undoers.

The term is uncommon, with "undoing" (as in his undoing) far more frequent than the agent noun.
