A person who unconsciously confabulates, filling in memory gaps with false details; someone prone to creating false or invented memories.
From Latin 'confabulari' with -or suffix (meaning 'one who does'), creating a noun describing the person performing the action of confabulation.
A confabulator isn't a liar—they genuinely believe their false memories, which makes them surprisingly common: studies suggest everyone confabulates to some degree, meaning we're all occasional confabulators.
