Withdrawer

A 'withdrawer' is an individual or entity that removes something, typically money, resources, or support, from a particular system, relationship, or activity. The act of withdrawing implies a deliberate decision to disengage or decrease involvement. This can occur in financial contexts (e.g., withdrawing funds from a bank), social settings (e.g., withdrawing support from a cause), or even personal relationships (e.g., becoming emotionally distant). The motivations behind withdrawing are diverse, ranging from financial necessity to disillusionment, caution or even strategic reasons. A withdrawer essentially diminishes their contribution or presence in the relevant sphere.
