Morphology

laudator = laud (semi-transparent) = laud + ator

The suffix '-ator' indicates a person who performs an action, but the specific term 'laudator' is not commonly used, making it less transparent for learners.

Etymology

The word laudator comes from the Latin root laud- meaning 'praise' and the ending -or meaning 'one who'. Think of someone who 'lauds' a person in a formal speech at a ceremony; that's a laudator, a person who gives high, public praise.
