Etymology: "Inseminators" is the plural of "inseminator," an agent noun formed from "inseminate" and the suffix "-or," which marks a person or thing that performs an action. The verb "inseminate" comes from Latin "inseminare," meaning "to sow or implant seed," built from "in" (into) and "seminare" (to sow), itself from "semen" (seed). Its original sense was therefore agricultural and literal: putting seed into the ground. Over time the word was extended to animal husbandry and then to human reproduction, where it still carries its seed-sowing sense. The plural "inseminators" is the form used for the agents or devices, such as technicians or equipment, that carry out artificial insemination in breeding livestock.

Synonyms: breeders, fertilizers, pollinators, procreators
