接尾辞

-trix (noun-forming suffix, plural -trices or -trixes)

1. (dated, plural usually -trices) Found on the end of words, chiefly female agent nouns.
2. (BDSM, plural usually -trixes) Forms nouns defining women who engage in specific forms of sexual dominance (by analogy with dominatrix)

使用する際の注意点

• For masculine agent nouns ending in -tor, the feminine equivalent ending in -trix is the etymologically consistent form. However, -trix is relatively dated and not particularly productive in modern English, where either gender-neutral terms or other suffixes (notably -ess) are generally preferred, as in actress rather than dated actrix.

接尾辞

-trīx f (genitive -trīcis, masculine -tor); third declension

1. -ess, -ress, -trix; attached to verb stems to form feminine agent nouns
2. (often poetic or derogatory) Attached to verb stems to form feminine adjectives, often with a poetic quality and/or a negative connotation

使用する際の注意点

The suffix -trīx forms feminine agent nouns from verbs. Its masculine counterpart is -tor. Most feminine agent nouns use the same verb stem as the supine, perfect passive participle, or future active participle, and can be derived from the verb's fourth principal part by replacing -tus/-tum with -trīx:

cantrīx (“female singer”), the feminine counterpart of cantor (“male singer”), from canō (“to sing”) (fourth principal part cantum).

However, some show other differences in the stem:

meretrīx (“prostitute", lit. "she who earns”), from mereō (“to merit, deserve, earn”) (fourth principal part meritum)

If the fourth principal part ends in -sus/-sum or -ssus/-ssum, the prevailing pattern is to replace these endings with -strīx:

tōnstrīx (“female hair cutter”); feminine counterpart of tōnsor (“male hair cutter”), from tondeō (“to shear, shave”) (fourth principal part tonsum)

possestrīx (“female possessor”), feminine counterpart of possessor, from possideō (“to possess”) (fourth principal part possessum)
