-torius

• -sōrius

From -tor.

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /ˈtoː.ri.us/, [ˈtoː.ri.ʊs]

-tōrius m (feminine -tōria, neuter -tōrium); first/second declension

1. -ory; used to form an adjective

   Synonym: -ārius

The suffix -tōrius is added to a participle to create a first- and second-declension adjective.

Examples:

meritōrius (“profitable”), from meritus (“earned”), perfect passive participle of mereō (“I earn, deserve, merit”)

textōrius (“of weaving”), from textus (“woven”), perfect passive participle of texō (“I weave”) — could also be derived from textōr (“weaver”) with -ius

Note that in some cases, where the suffix -ius is added to an agent noun ending in -tor, the result may be difficult or impossible to distinguish from the addition of -tōrius.

First/second declension.

• -ius
