Formed by the verb 'abominate' + productive agentive suffix '-or', yielding 'one who detests'.

Etymology

The word abominator comes from Latin parts ab- ('away') and omen ('sign'), and you can see the same root in abomination, a word for something seen as a very bad sign. So an abominator is a person who strongly hates or rejects something, as if it were an 'abomination'.
