Morphology

valuator = value (transparent) = value + ator

The software/tool sense is an extension of the agentive meaning (an automated valuer); the morphological formation remains inferable from 'value' + '-ator'.

Etymology

The word valuator comes from the Latin root valere, which means 'to be worth', and the ending -ator makes it 'a person who'. Today a valuator can also be a computer program or online tool that estimates how much something is worth.
