From pro- + claimant.

Meanings

1. In favor of a claimant or claimants.
   • One faction, vehemently pro-claimant, loathed the Vanderbilts on principle for their arrogant refusal to believe that a man who actually worked for a living could be one of them: a man who worked as a butcher – a butcher! – a man not only engaged in physical labour but physical labour of the lowest and most degraded sort, the kind that splashed the worker with blood ang guts. 2014, Janette Turner Hospital, Claimant, →ISBN:
