Morphology
distributor = distribute (transparent) = distribute + or
Standard agentive noun formed from the verb 'distribute' with the productive suffix '-or', so the meaning 'one who distributes' is directly derived.
Etymology
Distributor comes from Latin parts dis- 'apart' and tribuere 'to give', the same root you see in contribute. Think of a distributor as someone who 'gives out' goods to shops, which is why the word means a company or person who supplies stores.
