Morphology

lease + giver

The meaning is directly compositional: 'lease' (rental contract) + 'giver' (person who gives) yields someone who grants a lease. A B1 learner who knows both constituent words can readily infer this role, despite the existence of a more technical label ('lessor'), so the expression is transparently built from its parts.

Etymology

Lease giver comes from the simple idea of a person who gives a lease: imagine a property owner handing over a key and an agreement that lets someone use a house or field for a time. That's why it means the person who 'leases' property to someone else.
