Morphology
resuscitator = resuscitate (transparent) = resuscitate + or
Formed by the verb 'resuscitate' + agentive suffix '-or', giving a clear 'one that resuscitates' meaning.
Etymology
Resuscitator comes from the Latin parts re- 'again' and suscitare 'to wake or raise up'. So a resuscitator is literally a device that helps 'wake' someone again by getting air into their lungs.
