single word requests - A person who reads is a "reader". What is a person who peeks called?

You could call such a person a peeker because English would allow this usage, that is the adding of -er to most verbs to refer to a person who does the action of the verb.



However there is the word peeper which is often used. And we have an idiom about a peeping Tom. (Although I see now from your comment that you wish to avoid this word.)



You could get a better answer if you provided a sentence in which you wish to use 'peeker'.
