The person in possession of a negotiable document: In finance and law, this refers to the person who holds a document (like a check, bond, or ticket) that is payable or valid simply by possession, not by being registered to a specific name. 3. A supporting part or structure: In engineering or mechanics, a bearer is a structural component that supports weight, such as a beam or a load-bearing wall.
