Existing definition doesn't really give a lot of information
-------------------------------

Editor: Just "arhat" -- since the word is in English dictionaries.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/arhat

(Also because I think it's more than just a general term for a Buddhist disciple -- to be an arhat, the person must have attained a certain high level of enlightenment.)

I'll add 聲聞, which appears to be a closer match for "disciple of the Buddha".

聲聞
佛教謂從他人開示、教授佛法,進而修行悟道者。

Grand Ricci @ 聲聞 includes the following two senses for 聲聞 (my translation from the French):
- disciple who seeks to become an arhat
- disciple in general (often in connection with Hinayana; disciples at the initial stage of progress)
