Usage Note
Magsuri is the actor-focus form of suri, using the mag- prefix to center the examiner or analyst. It carries a formal, methodical connotation — closer to 'analyze' or 'investigate' than a casual look — and is standard in academic, journalistic, medical, and legal registers; the object-focus counterpart is suriin.
