Etymology
The word promulgator comes from the Latin verb promulgare, which means 'make public' and includes the part pro- meaning 'forth'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of 'publish' or 'proclaim': a promulgator is the person who formally declares a law, in other words someone who 'puts a law into the open' so everyone knows about it.
