promiser
One who commits
A promiser is someone who makes a promise.
The word appears primarily in legal and philosophical contexts where precision matters—distinguishing the promiser from the promisee (the one to whom the promise is made).
In everyday speech, people tend to say "the person who promised" rather than promiser.
