Mercator is the Latin word for "merchant; trader", from the verb mercari, "to buy; to trade".

It is also the Latinized name of the 16th-century Flemish cartographer Gerard de Kremer (Gerardus Mercator), who invented the Mercator projection (a method of representing the spherical surface of the earth on a flat rectangular map).

"I am a merchant." It's more than one word. Sum = I am and because you're using a form of "esse" you use the nominative form of mercator, which is... well... mercator.
