Morphology

remunerator = remunerate (semi-transparent) = re + muner + ator

The transformation from 'remunerate' to 'remunerator' is clear, indicating the agent performing the action.

Etymology

Remunerator comes from the Latin parts re- 'again' and muner- 'gift' or 'service', meaning someone who gives back for a service or gift. That's why a remunerator today is a person who pays money to reward someone for their work.
