Summary

Meyer-Lübke and his followers attributed the instrumental function of Romance deverbal nouns in -one to the metaphorical extension of corresponding agent nouns. In the present contribution, I argue that no such extension has ever taken place. Rather, the instrumental function has been inherited from Latin and extended analogically in a small number of semantic niches. Reanalysis of denominal nouns in -one relatable to verbal bases may also have been at stake in some instances.
