A person who gives property or land to another person in a legal transfer called feoffment; another word for feoffor.
From Old French feoffour, from feoff (to invest with a fief). The agent noun -er was added to feoff in English legal terminology, creating a term for the person performing the action.
Medieval lawyers had to distinguish who was giving vs. receiving property, so they created feoffer and feoffee—it's like how we now have follower and following on social media.
