The guy dumb enough to hold the Big Metal spike while the road gang hammers it into place so the railroad track doesn't shift under the weight.
Is that what you're asking?

Several different definitions, based on the context.
One answer is a third party who is entrusted to hold the stakes (the wagers) for two or more persons betting against one another; the stakeholder must deliver the stakes to the winner.
The term is also used in colonization context to refer to someone staking a claim to land or mineral rights. The person who holds the right to the property is the stakeholder.

Someone who has an interest in the outcome of a case is a stakeholder.
An impartial person would have no interest in how a case comes out.
