Suffix

-rix f. sg. (plural: -rices; masculine -or)

1. A suffix appended to words, chiefly verbs, to form female agent nouns.

Usage notes

• For masculine agent nouns ending in -or, the feminine equivalent ending in -rix is the etymologically consistent form; however, in some cases the common feminine form has changed to become the one ending in -ess instead. For the sake of example, consider that the common feminine form of actor is actress, and no longer the earlier form actrix.
