- 1俘獲者；挾持者（新聞裡綁架案多說挾持者、綁匪）
A captor is the person who has taken someone and is keeping that person a prisoner. It is not the police after a fair trial; it is the one who grabbed the other person and will not let them go. You meet it in stories about war, , and hijacking: soldiers take captives, a kidnapper is a captor, pirates holding a crew are captors. The word is a little formal and a little old-fashioned. News often prefers kidnapper, hijacker, or gunman; novels and history writing still like captor. Though actually, English speakers almost never use it for a jailer who only watches a cell — the captor is the one who did the catching. The pair that matters is captor and captive: one holds, the other is held.
組成From Late Latin captor, from Latin capiō, “to take, seize”. English use from around 1688.
