One who absolves; in some legal systems, a verdict or judgment that absolves the defendant of charges.
From Latin 'absolvitor,' derived from 'absolvere.' This term appears in older legal documents and Scottish law, where it refers to a type of court judgment.
In Scottish law, an 'absolvitor' is a judgment that completely releases the defendant—different from other verdicts because it actually erases the accusation rather than just declaring innocence!
