An attender is a person who goes to something — a meeting, a class, a church — especially as a habit. A regular attender is the person who shows up week after week, not a visitor who came once. The make-up is plain: attend plus -er, one who attends. British English likes this word (a regular church attender). Though actually, in American English you will more often meet attendee for a person at a conference or event, and attender can sound a little old there. Do not mix it with attendant, which is usually someone whose job is to help or serve (a flight attendant). An attender goes to the thing; an attendant looks after people at the thing. There is an older flavour of attender as someone who gives care or attention, but that use has mostly aside. For , the living sense is the person who turns up.
出席者、參加者（固定去開會、上課、做禮拜的人）。別和 attendant（服務員、空服員）搞混。
