Parsing inflected forms may not always work as expected. If the following does not give the correct word, try Latin Words or Perseus.

perdĭtor, ōris, m. [perdo], a ruiner, destroyer (rare but class.): perditor rei publi cae, Cic. Planc. 36, 89; id. Vatin. 3, 7: vexa tor et perditor, id. Pis. 34, 84: afflictor et perditor ordinis, id. ib. 27, 64: hominum, Lact. 2, 14, 8.

per-do, dĭdi, ditum, 3 (old form of the pres. subj. perduim, Plaut. Aul. 4, 6, 6: perduis, id. Am. 2, 2, 215; id. Capt. 3, 5, 70: perduit, id. Ep. 1, 1, 64; id. Poen. 3, 4, 29; but esp. freq., perduint, Plaut. As. 2, 4, 61; id. Aul. 4, 10, 55; id. Curc. 5, 3, 41; id. Cas. 3, 5, 17; id. Most. 3, 1, 138; id. Men. 2, 2, 34; 3, 1, 6; 5, 5, 31; id.

As the pass. of perdo, only pereo, perditus, perire appear to be in good use.
The only classical example of a pass. form in the pres. is: perditur haec inter misero lux non sine votis, Hor. S. 2, 6, 59 (K. and H. ad loc.), where Lachm., perh. needlessly, reads lux porgitur, the day seems too long for me.
In the pass. perdi, in late Lat.; v. infra), v. a., to make away with; to destroy, ruin; to squander, dissipate, throw away, waste, lose, etc. (class.; syn.: dissipo, perimo, deleo).
