Morphology

inclinator = incline (transparent) = incline + ator

Formed from 'incline' + the agent/instrument suffix '-ator', yielding a device or agent that tilts or favors; the relation is directly inferable.

Etymology

Inclinator comes from incline ('to lean') and the ending -ator ('one that does'), so it means 'something that makes things lean'. Imagine a machine that gently tilts heavy metal sheets during work, and you can see why it is called an inclinator.
