emanator = emanate (transparent) = emanate + or

Regular agentive nominalization: verb 'emanate' + '-or' straightforwardly yields 'one or that which emanates'.

Etymology

Emanator comes from the Latin parts e- 'out' and manare 'to flow', so it means something that 'flows out' from a source. That's why a spiritual emanator is seen as the origin that sends life or qualities out to the world.
