Etymology of ENACTOR

The word "enactor" does not have a commonly acknowledged etymology. It is derived from the verb "enact" with the addition of the suffix "-or", which typically denotes a person who performs an action or holds a specific role. However, the origin of "enact" is rooted in Old French and Latin.

"Enact" came into the English language in the late 15th century from Old French "enacte", which means "enactment" or "execution of a law". The Old French word derived from Latin "inactus", which is the past participle of "inagere". "Inagere" breaks down into the prefix "in-" (meaning "in" or "on") and the verb "agere" (meaning "to do" or "to act").
