    "Cheater" is a word in the dictionary and your comment that "it is not in dictionary" simply means that you have not referred to a good standard lexicon.

    Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary defines

    "cheater" as a person or thing that cheats.Also in its plural form,which incidentally is slang,it means

    "eyeglasses" or "spectacles".It also means "falsies".

    [1300-50].Better buy yourself a copy today for

    reference purposes.
