Scrutator is a noun that refers to one who investigates or examines.
The Latin word scrutari (screw TAR ee) means ‘to search or examine.’ Our word of the day shares this root with the word scrutinize. So it may help to think of a scrutator as ‘one who scrutinizes.’
If I had known we’d have a visiting scrutator to take a look at the carpet, I would done a better job of cleaning.
