n. a person who visits a place or person

The word "visitor" originates from Latin visitare (frequentative of videre, "to see"), combined with the agentive suffix -or, denoting "one who does." The term evolved through Old French visiteur before entering Middle English, retaining its core meaning of "one who goes to see." The suffix -or (from Latin -tor) specifically marks the doer of an action, making "visitor" logically "one who visits."
