Convoker

/kənˈvoʊkər/ noun

Definition

A person or authority who calls together or summons people to a meeting or assembly.

Etymology

Formed from the verb convoke by adding the agent suffix -er, which transforms verbs into nouns describing someone who performs that action. The form is less common than 'convocator' but follows standard English word-formation patterns.

Kelly Says

While 'convocator' feels more official and historical, 'convoker' is the more natural English formation—it's the same way we say 'baker' instead of 'bakator.' Both mean the same thing, but one followed Latin patterns and one followed English patterns.
