Morphology
recapitulator = recapitulate (semi-transparent) = re + recapitulate + or
The agentive suffix '-or' transparently forms 'one who recapitulates', but the verb 'recapitulate' is formal/Latinate and may not be recognizable to many learners (who might know the clipping 'recap' instead).
Etymology
The word recapitulator comes from the Latin parts re- 'again' and caput 'head', the same root as capital. So a recapitulator is someone who goes over the 'head' points again, repeating or summarizing the main ideas.
