Etymology: "Reevaluator" is a plain formation: the verb "reevaluate," meaning to evaluate again, with the agent suffix "-or" added to name the person who does the action. The suffix is an old English-language device, borrowed from Latin "-or" and found in many nouns such as "editor" and "creator," so it attaches easily to a verb and produces a word for whoever performs it. The verb itself is built from the prefix "re-," meaning again, and "evaluate," so the noun carries the sense of someone who appraises something a second time. The word is therefore transparent: its parts tell you its meaning without any change in sense along the way.

Synonyms: reassessor, reviewer, reappraiser
