triumphator singular

Morphology

triumphator = triumph (semi-transparent) = triumph + ator

Formed from 'triumph' + the agent-forming suffix '-ator'; the general meaning 'one who triumphs' is inferable though '-ator' is a formal/borrowed suffix less familiar to some learners.

Etymology

Triumphator comes from the Latin word triumphus meaning 'victory' and the ending -ator meaning 'one who'. So a triumphator is literally 'one who wins', which is why it means a person who achieves great success.
