Morphology

curator = curate (transparent) = curate + or

Derived from 'curate' + '-or'; the online/content sense is an extension of 'curate' as 'selecting and organizing', so the morphological link is clear.

Etymology

The word curator comes from the Latin curare, which means 'to take care'. A modern or online curator does the same kind of care for content: they choose, organize, and present items for an audience.
