N: 1. – back (adj): “being behind, away from the front, in a backward direction,” Middle English, from back (n.) and back (adv.); often difficult to distinguish from these when the word is used in combinations. Formerly with comparative backer (c. 1400), also backermore. To be on the back burner in the figurative sense is from 1960, from the image of a cook keeping a pot there to simmer while at work on another concoction at the front of the stove.
– donor (n): mid-15c., donour, “one who gives or bestows, one who makes a grant,” from Anglo-French donour, Old French doneur (Modern French donneur), from Latin donatorem (nominative donator) “giver, donor,” agent noun from past participle stem of donare “give as a gift,” from donum “gift” (from PIE root *do- “to give”).
As “person from whom blood is removed for transfusion,” by 1875; in reference to those living or dead from whom organs or tissues are removed for transplantation, by 1918 (originally of guinea pigs).

2. When funds are passed on from one organisation to another, the original donor is sometimes called the ‘back donor’.
