Second part søke +‎ -er, with the verb søke (“to search”) from Old Norse sǿkja (“to seek, look for, search”), from Proto-Germanic *sōkijaną (“to seek, look for”), from Proto-Indo-European *séh₂gyeti (“to give a sign”), from *seh₂g- (“to seek out”) and *-yeti (creates transitive imperfective verbs from roots), with the suffix from Old Norse -ari, from Medieval Latin and Middle Low German words, both from Proto-Germanic *-ārijaz, from Latin -ārius.
