Morphology

inspirator = inspire (semi-transparent) = inspire + ator

Formed with the agentive suffix '-ator' from 'inspire', but the device sense rests on the less familiar 'breathe in' sense of 'inspire', making it only partly obvious to learners.

Etymology

Inspirator comes from the Latin parts in- 'into' and spirare 'to breathe', so it literally means 'to breathe in'. Think of it as a machine that 'breathes in' air or gas, which is why an inspirator is a device that draws in air to mix or deliver it.
