-ёр
Russian
Etymology
Borrowed from French -eur. The suffix was originally borrowed as a part of French-derived words such as жонглёр (žongljór, “juggler”) from French jongleur and дублёр (dubljór, “understudy, stunt double”) from French doubleur, and later extracted out as a productive suffix. In some cases the suffix replaces French -aire in words borrowed from French, e.g. волонтёр (volontjór, “volunteer”) from French volontaire, and English -er in words borrowed from English, e.g. маркёр (markjór, “marker (various senses)”) from English marker.
