What does the suffix itor mean?

The suffix "-itor" is a Latin suffix that means "one who does" or "one who makes". It is often used to form nouns that describe the person or thing that performs a specific action.

Here are some examples:

* "Elevator": One who elevates or raises something.

* "Translator": One who translates from one language to another.

* "Navigator": One who navigates or guides a ship or aircraft.

* "Operator": One who operates or works a machine.

* "Iterator": In computer programming, a special object that allows you to iterate through a sequence of items.

It's important to note that "-itor" is not always used to denote a person. It can also describe a process or thing, like "generator" (something that generates) or "depositor" (a place where something is deposited).
