That which carries away or transports; an agent or force that produces displacement or removal.
From Latin 'evehere' (to carry away) + '-or' suffix (one who does). Similar formation to 'vector' but emphasizing the 'away' component through the 'e-' prefix.
While 'vector' became the dominant scientific term, 'evector' reminds us that Latin prefixes like 'e-' (out) can completely change meaning—'vector' carries toward, 'evector' carries away, a subtle difference that mattered to medieval scholars.
