A person who makes an avowal or openly declares something.
From French 'avouant' (present participle of avouer), using the '-ant' suffix to denote a person performing the action. This is a legal or archaic term.
In medieval law, an 'avowant' was specifically someone in court who would openly claim responsibility for an action—a bold legal tactic where you stop denying and instead defend your actions head-on.
