Morphology
redistributor = redistribute (transparent) = re + distribute + or
This sense is still a straightforward agent noun meaning a person, group, or institution that redistributes wealth or income.
Etymology
Redistributor comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and distribute meaning 'to give out'. So a redistributor can also be a person or government that 'gives out' money again, moving funds from richer people to poorer people through taxes or public programs.
