Italian 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”).
