Morphology

implementor = implement (semi-transparent) = implement + or

The word is built with the productive agentive suffix -or, but the specific sense of a maker or supplier of implements is somewhat specialized and not fully predictable from the base alone.

Etymology

Implementor comes from implement, which first meant a 'supply' or tool and comes from the old root implere meaning 'to fill', while the ending -or means 'one who does'. So an implementor is someone who provides or supplies tools, especially for farming.
