emasculator

/eɪtə(ɹ)/ noun

One who, or that which, emasculates.

Word Origin Emasculator comes from Latin ex- 'out of, away from' and masculus 'little male' — so to emasculate is literally to take the maleness out. The root masculus gives us masculine, masculinity, and even macho (via Spanish). The -ator suffix marks the doer.
