refutador
1. a person who refutes or disproves something; one who argues against or contradicts a claim, statement, or theory

2. someone who rejects or denies the validity of an argument or assertion

The term 'refuter' is primarily used in academic, legal, and philosophical contexts in both English-speaking countries and Brazil. It is more formal and less colloquial than its verb form 'refute.' In Portuguese, 'refutador' carries the same formal weight and is commonly found in scientific papers, debates, and theoretical discussions.
