GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Swedish term or phrase:remittent
English translation:remittent

Swedish to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general)
Swedish term or phrase: remittent
Context is that a copy of a (medical) report
"skickas till remittent"
My first thought, based on "remiss", is that this is the "referrer", but I've never actually come across "remittent" in that context and was also wondering about "payee"?
I would be grateful if someone could confirm (or otherewise) that "remittent" can be used for "referrer" .
Thank you

remittent
Explanation:
Remittent = avsändare. It's the same in English and Swedish according to Norstedts and other dictionaries, so I would assume that you can safely use "referrer" in this context.
Payee can also be a remittent, but I don't think that's correct in this context.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Many thanks, Ingrid. The link certainly seems to confirm that "referrer" would be fine as you suggest. "Remittent" seems to be used in Engl. as an adjective, so would it be OK if I amended "remittent" to "referrer" before selecting the answer and closing the question?
