Etymology: "Reiterator" is simply "reiterate" with the agent suffix "-or" added to it, so it names the person who does the reiterating. The verb "reiterate" comes from Latin "reiterare," meaning "to repeat, do again," built from the prefix "re-" (again) and "iterare" (to repeat), which itself comes from "iterum," "again." The Latin root thus carries the same sense of doing something once more that the English word keeps. The suffix "-or" is the same Latin ending found in words like "editor" and "governor," which denote a person who performs the action named by the base. A reiterator, then, is someone who keeps going over the same point, saying it again and again for emphasis.

Synonyms: repeater, recapitulator, reproducer, echoer, repetitor
