initialer

Where it comes from

From initial + -er.

noun initialers

  1. The artist who decorates the initial letters in an illuminated manuscript. Often the ornamentor was an apprentice to the real artist of the scriptorium, the initialer.
  2. The initial episode of a television show or series of films. This maintains the standard of excellence set by the initialer and emerges as a well-knit chapter in the adventures of Leslie Charteris' popular modern Robin Hood, Simon Templar — otherwise known as "The Saint."
  3. One who initials a document. Initials affixed in this manner do not, therefore, by themselves bring the initialer into any connection with the order for criminal purposes.
