From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:

  Mortgageor \Mort"gage*or\, Mortgagor \Mort"ga*gor\, n. (Law)
     One who gives a mortgage.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The letter e is required analogically after the second
           g in order to soften it; but the spelling mortgagor is


           in fact the prevailing form. When the word is
           contradistinguished from mortgagee it is accented on
           the last syllable (-j[^o]r").
           [1913 Webster]
