Plural of alienor; persons or entities that transfer ownership or property rights to another.
From Old French 'aliener' meaning to transfer property, derived from Latin 'alienare' (to make another's), from 'alienus' (foreign, other). The term evolved through medieval legal language to describe the act of conveying property.
This word is basically the opposite of inheritance—while heirs receive property, alienors actively give it away or sell it. In medieval times, alienors had to follow strict legal procedures, which is why we still use formal language in real estate today.
