A person or entity that grants something, such as property, rights, or permissions; one who gives or bestows.
From 'grant' (Old French 'creanter') + '-er' (agent noun suffix meaning 'one who'). Used in legal contexts since the 1300s to describe the person transferring property in a deed.
In property law, the 'granter' and 'grantee' are legal partners in a transaction—the names create a perfect linguistic mirror showing how language encodes the exact roles people play in formal agreements.
