assigner
One who delegates
An assigner is a person or entity that assigns something—typically rights, property, duties, or tasks—to another party.
The term appears most often in legal and business contexts, where an assigner transfers contractual rights or obligations to an assignee.
The original assigner retained no claim to the property after the transfer.
In everyday usage, assigner simply means whoever does the assigning, whether of homework, work shifts, or responsibilities.
