purchaser

/ˈpɝtʃəsɝ/ noun

A person who buys something.

Word Origin Purchase comes from Anglo-French purchaser 'to seek to obtain,' from pur- (Latin pro- 'forth') + chacer 'to chase, catch' (from Latin capere 'to take'). So purchase literally means 'to chase forth and take.' A purchaser is one who does that. The root capere gives us capture, catch, chase, accept, concept, and receive. So a purchaser is a taker.
