A person who has the legal right to appoint someone to a position, especially in trusts or estates.
From appoint plus -or suffix (Latin agent noun ending). A formal legal term more common in British English and estate law than American usage.
In trusts and wills, the appointor is like a gift-giver with delayed power—they've been given the right to decide who gets money or property at some future time, sometimes called a 'power of appointment.'
