A bystander is someone who is there when something happens and watches, but does not take part. The word is ordinary English, and news stories use it a lot: an innocent bystander got hurt; bystanders filmed the fight. It is not a job, and it is not a very formal word. People also talk about the bystander effect — the sad idea that when many people are watching, each person waits for someone else to help. A witness is a bit different: a witness is someone who saw it and may later tell the story, especially to the police. A bystander may become a witness, but the first word only says they stood to the side.
組成by- (to the side) + stander (a person who stands). You are standing by, not in the action.

- If he wins, he will be at liberty, perhaps, to give vent to a laugh, or to pass a remark on the circumstance to a bystander, or to stake again, or to double his stake; but, even this he must do solely out of curiosity, and for the pleasure of watching the play of chances and of calculations, and not because of any vulgar desire to win.
