Morphology

venerator = venerate (transparent) = venerate + or

Clear agentive formation from the verb 'venerate' with the productive English suffix '-or', so the meaning 'one who venerates' is directly derivable.

Etymology

The word venerator comes from the Latin root vener-, meaning 'to worship' or 'to honor', the same root you see in venerate and veneration. Imagine someone bowing at a shrine: a venerator is a person who shows deep respect or honor to someone or something.
