Hi Jackson,
When you say What would be the word, are you looking for just one word rather than a phrase? That's how I usually interpret it.

Hi Clive
It could be either one word or a phrase. Do you have any phrase for such a person? Please let me know.

Hi,
When you ask "What would be the word for . . . ?' and I can only tthink of a way to say it with a phrase, I usually figure that I can't give you what you are asking for, so I don't answer you.
I suggest you ask in future, 'What is another way to say this?'
