Morphology

eliminator = eliminate (transparent) = eliminate + or

Standard agent-noun formation from the verb 'eliminate' with an agentive suffix, so the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

The word eliminator comes from the verb eliminate, which comes from the Latin parts e- 'out' and limen 'threshold', so it originally meant 'to drive out'. So, an eliminator is something or someone that 'drives out' or removes something.
