means A person or animal that pursues and catches game or prey, or more broadly anyone who searches persistently for something.
from From Old English 'hunta,' a hunter, with the verb 'huntian,' to chase or seek out game — rooted in a Germanic family of words tangled up with notions of seizing and capturing. The same instinct that named the chaser of deer now names the chaser of jobs, bargains, and ghosts.
