Suffix
-or
- Suffix appended to words to create an agent noun, indicating a person who does something.
Usage notes
English generally appends this suffix where Latin would do it—to the root of a Latin-type perfect passive participle. For other words, English tends to use the suffix -er. Occasionally both are used (computer vs. computor).
