alienator

/ˈeɪliənˌeɪɾɚ/ noun

A person who alienates.

Word Origin From Latin alienus 'belonging to another' — an alienator is one who transfers ownership to another, literally 'other-maker.' The root alius 'other' gives us alien, alias, alibi, and alter. The -ate suffix makes it a verb, and -or the agent. It's a legal term for someone who conveys property.
