Morphology

assignor = assign (transparent) = assign + or

Agentive suffix '-or' added to the verb 'assign' yields a person who performs the action, a clear and regular derivation.

Etymology

Assignor comes from the verb assign, which is built on the same root as sign and signature, meaning 'mark' or 'sign', and the ending -or meaning 'one who does'. So an assignor is the person who legally gives or transfers a right to another person.
