Surface Forms

perfector singular
perfectors plural

Morphology

perfector = perfect (semi-transparent) = perfect + or

The word is built from 'perfect' + agentive '-or', but the printing-specific meaning 'machine that prints both sides in one pass' is a specialized technical sense not obvious to general learners.

Etymology

The word perfector comes from the Latin parts per- 'completely' and facere 'to make', the same root as perfect. So in printing, a perfector 'finishes' a sheet by printing both sides in one pass, making the job complete at once.
