Forms: Middle English acceptoure, Middle English–1500s acceptour, Middle English– acceptor.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French acceptour, accepteur; Latin acceptor.

Etymology: < (i) Anglo-Norman acceptour (in acceptour de persones , 14th cent.) and Middle French accepteur (14th cent. in accepteur de personnes ; 15th cent. in senses ‘person who receives’, ‘person who accepts’; French accepteur ), and their etymon (ii) classical Latin acceptor person who accepts as true, believer, receiver, collector, in post-classical Latin also person who shows undue partiality or favouritism (Vulgate) < accept- , past participial stem of accipere (see accept v.) + -or -or suffix. Compare slightly later accepter n.In acceptor of persons n. at sense 1a after Anglo-Norman acceptour de persones, Middle French accepteur de personnes, and its model post-classical Latin personarum acceptor (Vulgate); compare also note at acception n.

a. acceptor of persons (also faces) n. now rare = accepter of persons (also faces) n. at accepter n. 2.
