A person who makes an offer or initiates a bargain, especially in legal contracts.
From 'bargain' plus '-or' (from Latin and Old French), an alternative agent suffix to '-er.' This is primarily a legal term used in property and contract law.
English has both '-er' and '-or' suffixes for creating agent nouns (from different language sources), which is why we have both 'bargainer' and 'bargainor'—a beautiful reminder that English is a hybrid language mixing Germanic and Romance influences.
