A person who criminate; an accuser or someone who provides incriminating evidence.
From criminate + -or (Latin agent suffix for 'one who does'). Used in legal and historical contexts for those who bring accusations.
In witch trials and inquisitions, the 'criminator' had enormous power—their accusation alone could doom someone, which is why later legal systems required evidence, not just accusers.
