Consulter is from the verb consult (from Latin consultare, frequentative of consulere 'to take counsel') plus the agentive suffix -er. The ancestry passes through Latin consultare and Latin consulere. The suffix -er marks an agent, instrument, or associated person, so the English form is shaped by recognizable word formation as well as by its inherited or borrowed base.
