obtainer

/əbtˈeɪnɚ/ noun

One who obtains.

Word Origin From Latin ob 'toward' and tenere 'to hold' — to obtain is literally 'to hold toward oneself.' The root tenere is incredibly productive: contain, maintain, retain, detain, sustain, and tenant all come from it. The PIE *ten- meant 'to stretch, hold,' so obtaining is stretching out to grasp.
