The Latin equivalent of the English word 'shadow' is umbra. But specific words exist in Latin, to give the idea of 'shadowing' in the sense of 'following, hunting, or tracking down'. One is the word indagator for a male, indagatrix for a female. Another is the word investigator. All three tend to be translated as 'explorer' or 'investigator'. And they come from the respective verbs of 'indagare' and 'investigare', which mean 'to explore, investigate, search out, or track down'. And yet another is sequitor. For the verb 'sequi' may mean 'to follow in order to catch, to pursue'.
