Courier and correr

Courier from run. Whet does the er mean in English?  'The one who does it" Runner, player, etc.

A little insight, but it helps me remember if I need a courier, how it is basically changes in relation to its root. Ten the insight into 'er', as in, 'the thing that does the stem word'. Where did that suffix come from? Directly IE, or indirectly via Latin? Did the Latins take it directly from IE?

IE people, had to remember and recite very long poems and tales. They will have tense and person; actor and acted. But it is a very low bandwidth medium. Whatever the IE folks were ding with tens and person, the Latins formalized its description with a formal grammar. Making it translatable, sending around a better, shorter  dictionary, compact and optimum for parchment. But everyone needed a more formal grammar, needed to reducer uncertainty. Similar story always.

Latin potis "powerful" from this we get power and likely posses, Spanish poder, . potis is a deep root, means lord, or the boss man likely in IE.
