Morphology

revelator = reveal (semi-transparent) = reveal + ator

Morphologically transparent as 'one who reveals', but the specifically religious/prophetic sense is specialized and may not be obvious to all learners.

Etymology

Revelator comes from reveal ('to uncover') and the ending -tor, so it literally means 'one who uncovers'. In religious use, a revelator is someone who shares messages believed to come from God.
