Agentive nouns are often derived from verbs, end in -er and -or, and carry the meaning “the entity who/which performs the action of the verb”. Some examples of this type are farmer from to farm, skier from to ski, and commentator from to comment. The relationship between the verb and the agentive noun in these examples is considered to be self-evident. However, the relationship of words like choker and blinker, which look like agentive nouns, to the verbs from which they have likely evolved, to choke and to blink, is no longer self-evident to speakers. While farmer means “one who farms”, choker does not mean “one who chokes”. The degree to which the meaning of a word is considered to be self-evident or not, as illustrated by the examples of farmer and choker, is best described as an issue of:

prototype derivation
