Stakeholder’s primary meaning in the OED is “an independent person or organization with whom money is deposited, esp. when a number of people make a bet or other financial transaction.” It is thus financial, even speculative—notice the particular link to gambling, which was one of the most common nineteenth-century uses of the word. A stakeholder is the person or group with whom others’ money is deposited, often a third party or trustee.
