Morphology

disambiguator = disambiguate (transparent) = disambiguate + or

Agent nominalization from the verb 'disambiguate' using '-or', so the meaning 'one who removes ambiguity' is directly derived.

Etymology

Disambiguator breaks into dis- meaning 'not' or 'remove' and ambigu- meaning 'both' or 'doubt', the same root you see in ambiguous. So a disambiguator is a tool that 'removes' the 'both ways' or doubt and makes the meaning clear.
