obligator

/ɑblᵻɡˈeɪɾɚ/ noun

One who establishes an obligation under law

Word Origin Oblige comes from Latin ob- 'toward' and ligare 'to bind' — literally 'bind toward,' meaning to bind someone by a promise or duty. An obligator is one who obliges, who binds another. The root ligare gives us ligament (something that binds bones), league (a binding agreement), and religion (re+ligare, binding back to the divine).
