Morphology
ratiocinator = ratiocinate (semi-transparent) = ratiocinate + or
Built from the rare verb 'ratiocinate' with the agentive suffix '-or'; the extension to a computational system is a domain-specific application but follows the agentive pattern.
Etymology
Ratiocinator comes from the Latin root ratio meaning 'reason' or 'calculation' and the ending -ator meaning 'one who does', so it is like the familiar word calculator but for reasoning. That's why a ratiocinator can mean a program or machine that makes logical steps and draws conclusions.
