forfeiter

/fˈɔɹfɪɾɚ/ noun

One who forfeits; (law, specifically) one who incurs a penalty of forfeiture.

Word Origin From Latin foris 'outside' and facere 'to do' — to forfeit is literally to do something outside the law, resulting in a penalty. A forfeiter is one who suffers forfeiture. The same roots give us foreign (outside), forest (outside, as in woods), forbid (to command against), forget (to lose from mind), forgive (to give away), and forsake (to deny). Facere also gives us factory, affect, effect, perfect. The PIE root *dhwor- meant 'door, gate,' and *dhe- meant 'to set, put.'
