The word 'peer' is both a noun (peer, peers) and a verb (peer, peers, peering, peered).

The noun peer is a word for a person of the same age, status, or ability as another specified person; a member of one of the five ranks of the British nobility. Example:

  • He will enjoy the trip much more if accompanied by a peer rather than a parent.

The verb peer is to look keenly or with difficulty at someone or something. Example:

  • Jimmy would peer through the drapes when he thought he heard his dad's car.
