Morphology

evacuator = evacuate (transparent) = evacuate + or

Formed by adding the agentive suffix '-or' to the verb 'evacuate', yielding 'one who/that evacuates' (a person, vehicle, or organization).

Etymology

Evacuator comes from Latin parts e- 'out' and vacuus 'empty', the same root as evacuate and vacuum. So an evacuator is a person, vehicle, or group that 'empties' a dangerous place by getting people out to safety.
