bailsman

/bˈeɪlsmən/ noun

A person who provides bail for another; bail bondsman

Word Origin Bailsman is a compound of 'bail' and 'man'. 'Bail' comes from Latin 'bajulare' meaning to carry a burden, and in law, it refers to the release of a person who provides security. A bailsman is the person who stands surety, literally the 'burden-carrier man'. The same root gives us bailiff (originally a carrier of authority) and bailment.

noun A person who provides bail for another; bail bondsman countable

The bailsman posted the $10,000 bond for the defendant's release.
