abettor
This term carries a heavy legal weight and is almost exclusively used in the context of criminal law or formal accusations of wrongdoing. It describes a specific role where the individual may not have performed the primary act but provided the necessary psychological or material support to ensure the crime occurred. This distinguishes it from a principal offender who executes the act.
Because it is a formal legal designation, it is rarely used in casual conversation. In everyday speech, people are more likely to use terms like accomplice or helper, though abettor specifically emphasizes the act of encouragement or instigation.
