Etymology 2
From Proto-Hellenic*-tās (whence also Mycenaean Greek 𐀑𐀴𐀲(ki-ti-ta/ktitā(s)/, κτίτης)), probably a masculine formation from Proto-Indo-European*-teh₂ (perhaps still seen in Latin Monēta), feminine of *-tós. Originally used in adjectival compounds, the suffix's narrowing to agentivity may be by analogy to -τήρ(-tḗr) and -τωρ(-tōr).[1] Compare Latin poeta from Ancient Greek ποιητής(poiētḗs), and Latin agricola from Latin -a.
