Morphology

levitator = levitate (transparent) = levitate + or

Agent noun formed by adding the productive English suffix '-or' to the verb 'levitate', yielding a person or device that performs levitation.

Etymology

Levitator comes from the Latin root levare, which means 'to raise' or 'make light', and from the verb levitate plus the ending -or, meaning 'one who'. So a levitator is a person or device that makes things float or rise, like an elevator lifts you up but without touching the ground.
