Morphology
incubator = incubate (semi-transparent) = incub + ate + or
The suffix '-or' regularly forms a noun from 'incubate', but the business sense is a metaphorical extension from literal or general nurturing and development.
Etymology
The word incubator comes from the Latin verb incubare meaning 'to lie on' and shares the root with incubate. So a business incubator is like a warm nest: it keeps new companies safe and helps them grow until they can stand on their own.
