Description

A "goer" is a person who often goes to a certain place or kind of event. You will usually see it as part of a longer word, such as "moviegoer," "churchgoer," or "theatergoer." The idea is simple: this is someone who attends regularly, not just once. It does not always suggest excitement or a special lifestyle. Most of the time, it simply points to a habit of showing up.
