Debt is an amount of money that has been borrowed and is supposed to be repaid (metaphorically, the term is also sometimes used to refer to other obligations; you saved my life, therefore I owe you a debt of gratitude). A debtor is a person who owes a debt. The person to whom the debtor owes a debt is a lender.
