spectator
Significado: A person who watches an event, performance, or activity, especially a sporting contest or public spectacle, without actively participating.
Spectator implies watching with interest and attention, distinguishing it from 'bystander,' which suggests mere proximity. It is the standard term in sports journalism (spectator stands, spectator safety) and also appears in cultural criticism and political commentary, where being a 'mere spectator' implies passivity or disengagement. It collocates with 'sport,' 'crowd,' 'capacity,' and 'safety.'
