Usage Note

Acreedor has two lives: as an adjective it means 'worthy of' (acreedor de confianza, 'deserving of trust'), and as a noun it means 'creditor' in financial and legal contexts, opposed to deudor (debtor). The feminine form is acreedora. In everyday speech the noun sense dominates; the adjective sense is formal.

Examples

"El banco es el principal acreedor de la empresa."

Natural Translation

The bank is the company's main creditor.
