Morphology

migrator = migrate (transparent) = migrate + or

The computing sense extends the basic sense of 'move' to data or configurations; the formation 'migrate' + '-or' yielding 'tool that migrates' is transparent.

Etymology

Migrator comes from the old Latin verb migrare, which means 'to move'. In computing a migrator is like a moving van for data: it transfers or converts records and settings from one system or format to another.
