The suffixes -tor m and -trix f are used with the supine stems of verbs to form nouns denoting the agent of an action. They are etymologically related to various instrument noun suffixes (including neuter -culum, -crum, -trum, -bulum, -brum and feminine -cula, -tra, -bula, -bra) and to the derived adjective-forming suffix -torius, -a, -um (and its nominalized neuter form -tōrium).
The suffix -trum n, mostly unproductive in classical and Imperial Latin, has gained greater productivity in New Latin as a means of forming neologisms for technological artifacts (often translated from modern languages, e.g. computātrum (“computer”), mōtrum (“motor”), etc.).
