Covenantor
/ˈkʌv.ən.ən.tər/noun
A person who makes or enters into a covenant; a party to a formal agreement.
Did you know?The word comes from the same root as *convene* and *convenient*, from Latin *convenire* meaning “to come together,” so its oldest history is about binding people into agreement, not magic.
