I'd define a 'stressor' as something that is a stressful event, like getting a gun pointed at you, driving in traffic, being hung by your ankles out a 10 story window.

an event or incidant in a person's life that causes stress. Enough stressors can lead to health issues.

An event or context that elevates adrenaline and triggers the stress response because it throws the body out of balance and forces it to respond. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

strain felt by somebody: mental, emotional, or physical strain caused, e.g. by anxiety or overwork. It may cause such symptoms as raised blood pressure or depression.
- cause of strain: something that causes stress
- special importance: special emphasis, importance, or significance attached to something
Essentially a stressor is the cause of one's stress
