A claimant is someone who says they have a right to something — usually money, housing, or benefits — and asks a government office, an insurance company, or a court to give it. The word puts you on the asking side, not the deciding side. In British English it is everyday in official talk: a benefits claimant, an insurance claimant. In England and Wales court English, claimant is now the person who starts a civil case; older books say plaintiff for that role. It is fairly formal. It is not the person being sued, and it is not a casual word for anyone who wants something.
請求人、索賠人（英式也常指申請政府補助的人）
組成From Old French and Anglo-Norman clamant, from Latin clāmō (“to cry out”), equivalent to claim + -ant (the person who claims).
