indoctrinator

/ɪndˈɑktɹᵻnˌeɪɾɚ/ noun

One who indoctrinates.

Word Origin Indoctrinator comes from indoctrinate, which is in- 'into' + doctrine 'teaching.' Doctrine is from Latin docere 'to teach.' So an indoctrinator is someone who pours teachings into you—often with a negative connotation of brainwashing. The same root docere gives us doctor (originally a teacher), docile (teachable), and document (something that teaches).
