"-ess" is the English equivalent of -trix.

Specifically, the Latin letters -trix constitute a suffix. They spell the feminine ending which replaces the masculine ending -tor in occupational and professional nouns in Latin. The equivalent action in English will involve replacing the masculine ending "-or" with the femining suffix "-ess".
