Morphology

relocator = relocate (transparent) = re + locate + or

The suffix '-or' straightforwardly forms an instrument or agent noun meaning something that relocates.

Etymology

The word relocator comes from the prefix re- meaning 'again' and the root loc- meaning 'place', like in location. So a relocator can be a machine or device that moves heavy objects from one place to another.
