Morphology

acquisitor = acquire (transparent) = acquisit + or

The agentive meaning 'person who acquires' follows directly from the base verb 'acquire' plus the agentive suffix '-or', so the relation is clear to learners.

Etymology

The word acquisitor comes from the same root as acquire and acquisition, from Latin parts ad- 'to' and quaerere 'seek'. So an acquisitor is someone who 'seeks to get' things, especially in business.
