A person who performs cohobation; an alchemist or chemist who practices repeated distillation.
From 'cohobate' plus the agent suffix '-or,' meaning one who performs the action. Common in alchemical texts to describe practitioners of the art.
Medieval cohobators were among the first experimental scientists, methodically repeating their distillations and recording results—they were doing the scientific method centuries before it was formally named.
