afforder (plural afforders)

  1. One who, or that which, affords or makes available.
    • 1850, John Stuart Mill, The Negro Question:
      I do not include under the name labour such work, if work it be called, as is done by writers and afforders of “guidance,” an occupation which, let alone the vanity of the thing, cannot be called by the same name with the real labour, the exhausting, stiffening, stupefying toil of many kinds of agricultural and manufacturing labourers.
  2. (rare) One who can afford to pay for something (but does not necessarily purchase it).
