单词 debtor
释义

debtorn.

Brit. /ˈdɛtə/, U.S. /ˈdɛdər/
Forms: α. Middle English dettor, Middle English det(t)ur, Middle English–1500s det(t)our, det(t)or, Middle English dettere, 1500s–1600s detter; β. 1500s–1600s debtor, 1600s debtour, 1500s– debtor. See also debitor n.
Etymology: Middle English det(t)ur , -our , < Old French det(t)or, -ur, -our (later detteur , debteur ) < Latin dēbitōr-em , accusative of dēbitor (whence Old French det(t)re ). In later Old French often artificially spelt with b , after Latin; in English the b was inserted between 1560 and 1668, being first prevalent in legal documents, where it was probably assisted by the parallel form debitor n. (The Bible of 1611 has detter, debter, each thrice: debtor twice, debtour once.)

a. One who owes money to one or more persons: correlative to creditor.
