remisor

Remisor is a rarely used noun that derives from the Latin remittere, meaning to send back or to remit. In English, remisor is uncommon and appears mainly in historical, legal, or linguistic texts as an archaic or Latinized agent noun meaning “one who remits” or “one who sends back.” Contemporary English typically uses remitter to denote a person who sends money or a payment.

In legal and financial contexts, remisor can be found as a calque or translation of Latin terms in older contracts or scholarly works. When used, it generally refers to the party that performs a remittance or delivers funds, though this sense is not standard in modern usage. Because the everyday term is remitter, many modern documents replace remisor with remitter to avoid ambiguity.

In addition to its infrequent technical usage, remisor may appear as a surname or in discussions about agent-noun formation in Latin. The term is thus primarily of historical or philological interest rather than a living technical term.
