decapitator

/dᵻkˈæpᵻtˌeɪɾɚ/ noun

One who decapitates.

Word Origin From Latin caput 'head'. Decapitate literally means 'take the head off'. A decapitator is one who beheads. The same root gives us capital (head city), captain (head of a group), and chapter (a heading). The PIE root *kaput- means 'head', so it's all about heads.
