Etymology
Modulator comes from the Latin root modus meaning 'measure' or 'manner', the same root as moderate and mode. In biology a modulator works like a dial that 'adjusts' processes such as nerve or immune signals, which is why the word means a substance or factor that changes or regulates body processes.
