What's the meaning of the suffix 'adora'?
Can you help me?
I just started learning Spanish.
I saw some words such as 'rasuradora', 'refrigeradora', 'secador'.
I wonder the meaning of suffix 'adora'.
I can't sure but it feels like a sort of machine to me.
How to make a word using suffix? Are there special rules?
Thanks in advance!

¡Muchas gracias!

-dor (mass) or -dora (fem) is like English -tor. It indicates a person or thing that usually does the action. A refrigerator is a machine that refrigerates. Una secadora es tuna máquina que sea.
The suffix is usually preceded by -a-, but it may be preceded by -i- or -e- depending on the verb conjugation in Spanish / Latin. It may also be preceded by a consonant, like actor (feminine actriz — “actress” in English). The T may also assimilated "precursor" -- forerunner.

the verb in those words are:
rasurar, refrigerar, secar. and other examples podar, limpiar, tostar, licuar
the instrument or equipment to run these verbs you have to add: dora or dor
and eliminate the last r of the verb
dor (mass) or -dora (fem) like Phil said before
rasuradora, refigerador, secadora, podadora, limpiador, tostador, licuadora
