This is a participle noun, not a plain root: i means to preside, -ant- makes the present active participle, and -o turns it into the person doing it. So a is literally one who is presiding, which is why the word carries a faint sense of currently in post - a former one is an o. The same machinery gives for a reader and loĝanto for an inhabitant, and it is worth building your own the first time you need one rather than reaching for the dictionary.
