Hypertext Webster Gateway: "Mortgagor"
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) (web1913)
Mortgageor \Mort"gage*or\, Mortgagor \Mort"ga*gor\, n. (Law)
One who gives a mortgage.
Note: The letter e is required analogically after the second
g in order to soften it; but the spelling mortgagor is
in fact the prevailing form. When the word is
contradistinguished from mortgagee it is accented on
the last syllable (?).
From WordNet (r) 1.7 (wn)
mortgagor
n : the person who gives a mortgage in return for money to be
repaid; "we became mortgagors when the bank accepted our
mortgage and loaned us the money to buy our new home"
[syn: {mortgager}]
