Morphology

subjugator = subjugate (transparent) = subjugate + or

Formed by standard agentive suffixation: 'subjugate' (verb) + '-or' = 'one who subjugates', so the meaning follows directly.

Etymology

Subjugator comes from Latin parts sub- 'under' and jugum 'yoke', and is related to the English word yoke. So, a subjugator is someone who puts a 'yoke' on others, which is why the word means a person who forces people under control or into slavery.
