A person who grants or leases property to another; a landlord or lessor in a leasing agreement.
From Old French 'colessor,' from Norman legal terminology combining 'col-' (together/with) and 'lessor' (one who leases). This Old French legal term was used in medieval property law before 'lessor' became standard.
The term 'colessor' is nearly obsolete in modern law—it's one of those medieval legal terms that survives only in old documents, yet 'lessor' fulfills exactly the same function in contemporary property law!
