Morphology

evaluator = evaluate (transparent) = evaluate + or

Clear agentive derivation from the verb 'evaluate' to denote a program or component that performs evaluation; computing usage is an extension but follows the same morphological pattern.

Etymology

The word evaluator comes from the Latin root valere meaning 'be worth' and the English word value. An evaluator in computing is a program that finds the 'value' or result of an expression, so it returns the final answer of the code or data.
