From Latin amputare + -or (one who does). The agent noun form, though rarely used in modern medicine, designates the person performing amputation.
Historically, 'amputators' were often field surgeons in battle—Civil War and WWI amputators developed incredible speed and skill because survival depended on quick surgery before shock and infection took hold.
