Morphology

amalgamator = amalgamate (transparent) = amalgam + or

The agentive suffix '-or' added to 'amalgamate' yields 'one who amalgamates' (i.e., a person/company that merges firms), a regular and clear derivation.

Etymology

Amalgamator comes from amalgam, a word meaning 'a mixture' that originally came from an Arabic word for 'paste', and the ending -ator means 'one who does'. So an amalgamator is someone who 'mixes' things together, which is why in business it means a person or firm that arranges company mergers.
