Etymology: "Compilator" is a rare English word for a compiler, someone who gathers material from various sources into a single work. It is formed from "compilate," a verb-based root meaning to compile, with the suffix "-or," which in English denotes a person who performs an action. The pattern is the same as in words like "narrator" or "creator," built on a Latin-derived stem with an agent suffix attached.
