Definition
A person who makes a legal acknowledgment; someone who formally recognizes or admits to knowing something in a court of law.
Etymology
From the Old French 'conusant,' the present participle of 'conustre,' meaning 'to acknowledge.' It entered Middle English legal vocabulary and refers specifically to the person making the acknowledgment rather than the act itself.
Kelly Says
Medieval courts needed this word to distinguish who was doing the acknowledging—the conusant—because in feudal legal systems, having the right person admit knowledge could mean the difference between owing taxes or owing nothing.
