Morphology

segregator = segregate (transparent) = segregate + or

Standard agentive formation: the verb 'segregate' + the agentive suffix '-or' yields 'segregator' meaning 'one who segregates', which is directly predictable.

Etymology

Segregator comes from Latin parts se- 'apart' and greg- 'group', as in congregate 'to come together'. So a segregator is someone who sets people 'apart' from the group, which explains why it means a person who supports separating people, especially by race.
