The German word "Politiker" is a noun that means "politician." It is made up of "Politik," meaning "politics," and the suffix "-er," which indicates a person who engages in a particular activity. Thus, a "Politiker" refers to a person who is involved in politics, typically as a member of a political party or governmental body.
Similar words include "Abgeordneter" (delegate or member of parliament) and "Politikerin" (female politician). The difference mainly lies in formality and specificity; "Abgeordneter" often refers to an elected official in a legislative context, while "Politiker" is a broader term that can apply to anyone involved in politics, regardless of their role or level of authority.
