Acquisitor

/ˈækwɪzɪtər/ noun

Etymology

From Latin acquisitor (one who acquires); -or is the classical Latin agent noun suffix, preserved in formal English.

Kelly Says

This is the fancy-pants Latin version of 'acquirer'—you'll find it in legal documents and academic writing, where it sounds more authoritative than plain 'acquirer.'
