Definitions

  1. Person who receives money or something else with a promise to return it.

Word origin

From Middle English borower, borewer, borwere, equivalent to borrow + -er (agent suffix).

Used in a sentence

  • a library borrower’s card
  • But if other negative factors are operating simultaneously, or if the borrower's financial status is weak to start with, then one extra adverse development is more likely to affect returns on the loan.
  • This term became popular from the late 1960s onwards, languages being neatly divided between borrowers and calquers.
