Causator

/kɔːˈzeɪtər/ noun

Definition

Something or someone that causes; an agent or force that produces an effect.

Etymology

From Latin 'causator,' derived from 'causa' (cause) plus the agent suffix '-tor' (one who does something). This Latin-derived term is less common in modern English than 'causer.'

Kelly Says

Medieval theologians debated whether God is the ultimate causator of all events or whether humans have independent causal power—a question that shaped both religion and science!
