1. 1

    A puppeteer is a person who makes puppets move and speak — on strings, with rods, or with a hand inside a cloth body. In a show you may not see them at all; they stand behind a screen or above the stage. That job sense is the main one. Though actually, people also call someone a puppeteer when they secretly pull the strings in real life: a boss, a politician, or a parent who is really deciding everything while another person looks in charge. That second use is a picture, and it is a little sharp. As a verb, to puppeteer someone means to control them that way.
