exonerator

/ɛɡzˈɑnɚɹˌeɪɾɚ/ noun

One who exonerates.

Word Origin From Latin ex- 'out' and onus 'burden' — literally 'to lift a burden off someone.' That's why an exonerator is someone who clears another of blame, removing the weight of accusation. The same onus root gives us onerous (burdensome) and onus itself (a burden). You can almost see the load being lifted.
