Morphology

alienor = alien (opaque) = alien + or

The agentive suffix is regular, but the base verb 'alien' is a specialized legal word unfamiliar to most learners.

Etymology

Alienor comes from the Latin root alien- meaning 'other' or 'belonging to another', and is related to the common word alienate, which means 'to give away' or 'transfer'. So, an alienor is the person who 'gives' or transfers property to someone else in a legal deal.
