/ˈkleɪmənt//ˈkleɪmənt/

The word "claimant" has its roots in the Latin "clamare," which means "to cry out" or "to assert." In law, a claimant refers to an individual who brings a lawsuit or makes a formal demand against another party. The term has been in use since the 15th century, with early forms such as "clameant" and "clamourant." The modern English word "claimant" emerged in the 17th century, derived from the Latin "clamator," meaning "one who claims." In legal contexts, a claimant is a person who asserts a right, title, or interest in a specific property, asset, or situation, and seeks to defend or establish this claim through legal proceedings. Over time, the term has expanded to include non-legal contexts, such as finance and insurance, where it refers to an individual or organization making a claim for payment or compensation.
