| Feb 26, 2015 at 19:58 | comment | added | randomblink | @EdwinAshworth I hadn't even thought of that. I was also hoping there was a word I hadn't heard before that defined a "ruser" in this way, lol. Thank you all. | |

| Feb 26, 2015 at 19:51 | comment | added | Edwin Ashworth | Dictionaries usually list agent nouns under the headword. If there aren't any under 'ruse', there probably aren't any with that root. | |
| Feb 26, 2015 at 19:48 | comment | added | randomblink | I updated the question to better ask what I was hoping for. But those work. | |
