Morphology

recreator = recreate (transparent) = re + create + or

The noun is a regular agentive formation from the verb 'recreate' meaning 'create again'.

Etymology

Recreator comes from the parts re- ('again') and create ('to make'), so a recreator is someone who 'makes again' or restores things, like a person who rebuilds an old mural.
