castrator

/kæstɹˈeɪɾɚ/ noun

One who castrates (gelds or neuters).

Word Origin Castrate comes from Latin castrare 'to cut off, emasculate,' possibly from PIE *kas- 'to cut.' A castrator is the agent, with the -or suffix. The same root gives us castration, chaste (originally 'pure, cut off from sex'), and castigate (to punish, literally 'to drive pure'). The -or marks the doer.
