About This Root
From Latin -tor, an agent noun suffix meaning "one who does." Not a standalone root but a productive suffix that creates doers from verbs: primogenitor (first parent/ancestor), signatory (one who signs). Moratorium extends the pattern — originally "a delay" from morārī (to delay), formed through the same -tor/-torium mechanism.
