\Mort"gage*or\, Mortgagor \Mort"ga*gor\, n. (Law)
One who gives a mortgage.
Note: The letter e is required analogically after the second
      g in order to soften it; but the spelling mortgagor is
      in fact the prevailing form. When the word is
      contradistinguished from mortgagee it is accented on
      the last syllable (?).
