Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Warrantor → It is formed from "warrant" (from Old French *garant*, meaning to guarantee or protect) and "-or" (meaning a person who). A warrantor is a person who guarantees or provides assurance.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'guarantees' something — that's what a warrantor does, and the '-or' just means a person.
