Morphology
hallucinator = hallucinate (transparent) = hallucin + ate + or
The word is clearly derived from 'hallucinate' with the agentive suffix '-or' indicating a person or thing that performs the action.
Etymology
Hallucinator comes from the verb hallucinate, from the Latin hallucinari meaning 'to wander in the mind'. You can see the same root in hallucination, so a hallucinator is someone who sees or makes things that are not really there.
