I’m doing some conlanging for a book and I’m having trouble finding the word for how we can take a verb, add -er at the end, and get a word for a person who does that thing. For example, a driver is someone who drives, a commander is someone who commands, a lawyer is someone who laws, and a finger is someone who fings. I am having trouble finding out how other languages noun their verbs in this way since I don’t know what this thing is called. Pls halp.

Looks like somebody else has already answered your question, but I’ll still go ahead and say that ‘agentive’ is another name for this. Happy conlanging!
