Categories with compounds in which the first element is a transitive verb, the second a term (usually but not always a noun) functioning as its (normally direct) object, and whose referent is the person or thing doing the action, or an adjective describing such a person or thing.

Examples in English are pickpocket (literally someone who picks pockets) and catch-all (literally something that catches everything).

This is an umbrella category. It contains no dictionary entries, but only other, language-specific categories, which in turn contain relevant terms in a given language.
