goer
行く人
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
go「行く」に、人を表す -er を付けた語で、文字どおり「行く人」。単独よりも、theatergoer「劇場によく行く人」や partygoer「パーティー参加者」のような複合語でよく見る。go + er では o を重ねず goer と綴る点に注意し、「場所・催し＋goer」の型で覚える。
Build goer from go plus the person-forming suffix -er: a goer is someone who goes. It is much more natural in compounds than by itself. Picture a theatergoer heading to a play, a moviegoer entering a cinema, or a partygoer arriving at a celebration. Notice the spelling: go simply takes -er, producing goer, with no doubled o. Remember the productive pattern “place or event + goer,” which identifies a person by where they go or what kind of event they attend.

goer の語源・成り立ち Etymology
goerはgo「行く」に、人を表す接尾辞-erが付いた語で、goは古英語gān「進む・立ち去る」にさかのぼります。undergoやoutgoingにも同じgoが見え、「行く動作をする人」からそのまま「行く人」の意味になった語です。
Goer is formed within English from the verb go and the agent suffix -er, which identifies a person who performs an action. Go descends from Old English gān, meaning “to go, proceed, or depart.” Although goer can literally mean anyone who goes, it became particularly useful in compounds naming habitual visitors or participants, including churchgoer, theatergoer, and partygoer. Its structure is therefore transparent: the action go plus the person associated with it.
