[edit]- -sor (in forms derived from primarily third conjugation verbs with stems ending in -t-, -d-, -rg-, -ll-, or -rr-.)
Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Italic *-tōr, from Proto-Indo-European *-tōr < *-tor-s. The -ō- from the nominative singular form was extended to all other forms by analogy; then word-final -ōr was shortened to -or by regular Latin sound laws, producing the Classical Latin paradigm with short -o- in the nominative singular and long -ō- elsewhere.[1] Cognate to Sanskrit -तृ (-tṛ) (nominative singular -ता m sg (-tā)) and Ancient Greek -τωρ (-tōr), as well as -τήρ (-tḗr) from a separate ablaut *-tḗr. Compare Latin -trum (instrumental suffix), from Proto-Indo-European *-tr-o-m (instrumental suffix).
Pronunciation
[edit]- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /tor/, [t̪ɔr]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /tor/, [t̪or]
Suffix
[edit]-tor m (genitive -tōris); third declension
- -er; used to form a masculine agent noun
