Morphology

calibrator = calibrate (transparent) = calibrate + or

Standard agent-noun formation from the verb 'calibrate' with '-or', meaning 'device or person that calibrates', which is directly inferable by learners who know 'calibrate'.

Etymology

Calibrator comes from the same root as caliber, which once meant a 'mould' or 'shape' used to check size. So a calibrator is a device that sets or checks an instrument to the correct standard.
