Well, usually with agent nouns there’s a verb it’s derived from. Like “to act” becomes “actor” (one who acts), “to hunt” becomes “hunter” (one who hunts). Looking it up more directly, the AI overview says it’s an agent noun because a senator is one who performs the actions of the member of a senate, but

  1. that feels almost circular
  2. I am deeply skeptical of AI results especially when the cited sources don’t make that claim

Expanding it, it says that it’s derived from the Latin verb “senare” which means either “to be old” or “to sit in the senate” which is another instance of it sort of sounding plausible except I cannot verify that “senare” is an actual Latin verb, and can only find a Swedish word with that spelling.

Senator comes from the Latin “senex” which means “old man”, and the closest verb I can find that might fit is “seneo” which means “to be old” but the wiktionary page says it’s a form of the infinite “senere” (however the linked page doesn’t have an entry for Latin bizarrely, nor does the page to “senex” mention “senere” anywhere). The other is “seniliter” which means “in the manner of an old person” which might work? I don’t know enough about Latin verbs and conjugation to really say if either of those are the plausible verb for the agent noun “senator”. Also reaffirms my belief that these AI overviews suck and should not be trusted.

Anyway, I’m now curious if “senere”/“senare” in the AI overview and that one wiktionary page are an example of citogenesis, and it wasn’t actually a Latin verb.
