Etymology: From Middle English sekar, sekere (also sechar, sechere), equivalent to seek + -er. Compare Saterland Frisian Säiker (“seeker”), West Frisian syker (“seeker”), Dutch zoeker (“seeker”), German Low German Söker (“seeker”), German Sucher (“seeker”).

  1. One who seeks.
  2. Especially, a religious seeker: a pilgrim, or one who aspires to enlightenment or salvation.

    “But these seekers, too, are saved - by virtue of the inherited symbolic aids of society, the rites of passage, the grace-yielding sacraments, given to mankind of old by the redeemers and handed down through millenniums.”

  3. In Quidditch or Muggle quidditch, the player who is supposed to catch the snitch.
