Morphology

visitator = visit (semi-transparent) = visit + ator

The meaning 'an individual who visits' follows directly from visit + -ator, but the form is archaic and less familiar than the regular modern agent noun visitor.

Etymology

Visitator comes from the Latin visitare 'to visit' and shares the same root as the English words visit and visitor. So a visitator is simply someone who goes to see a person or place for a short time.
