wagerer

/wˈeɪdʒɹə/ noun

A person who wagers or bets.

Word Origin From Old North French 'wagier' meaning to pledge. A wagerer is someone who makes a bet, literally someone who pledges something. The root also gives us 'wager' (a bet), and surprisingly 'wedding' (a pledge of marriage) and 'mortgage' (a dead pledge, because the pledge dies when the debt is paid). The PIE root *wadh- is about pledging.
