Pronunciation -tor 1 Suffix -tor<3> -trīx -er; used to form masculine agent nouns from verbs Usage notes The corresponding feminine suffix is la -trīx: e.g. la cantor male singer is paired with la cantrīx female singer, from la canō to sing. As with other Latin nouns for people, the masculine is traditionally used generically (for example, in general statements or in contexts where gender is unspecified) as well as for males. Masculine and feminine agent nouns are sometimes used appositively, or as adjectives, and can be used in this context even with inanimate nouns (in which case they agree with the grammatical gender of the noun). Occasionally added to a noun to create an agent noun, often in the extended form la -ātor, as if from a first-conjugation verb. Examples: la gladiātor gladiator, from la gladius sword la malleātor hammerer, from la malleus hammer Declension -tor<3> Derived terms la -ātor la -tōrium la -tōrius la -turiō uncertain la Related terms la -or -trīx Descendants rup -tor ast -dor ca -dor frp -or fur -dôr de -or pms -ào lij -àu òu lmo -or -dor ga -tóir -adóir it -tore -ore oc -dor fro -or<id:agent suffix> roa-opt -dor gl -dor pt -dor -or<id:agent> osp es -dor -or<id:agent> ro -tor sc -dore scn -turi vec -dor References Romanian Pronunciation ro /tor/ ro -tor Etymology 1 ro la -tor (through a ro la-vul - form la *-torius, and feminine ro -toare from la *-toria).
