Morphology
assimilator = assimilate (transparent) = assimilate + or
A regular agentive noun formed from the verb 'assimilate' with the productive suffix '-or', so the meaning is directly predictable from the base verb.
Etymology
Assimilator comes from the Latin parts ad- 'to' and similis 'like', and it is related to the English word similar. So an assimilator is a person who makes themselves 'like' others or who quickly takes in new ideas and habits.
