Morphology

experient = experience (semi-transparent) = experi + ent

The word 'experient' is derived from 'experience' with the suffix '-ent', but its usage as a noun for a person is not immediately obvious.

Etymology

Experient comes from the Latin verb experiri, meaning 'to try' or 'to experience', and it shares its root with the everyday word experience. So an experient is simply a person who has gone through or tried something and knows it from direct contact.
