Definition
One who evokes or calls forth; a person who summons forth feelings, images, or memories.
Etymology
From Latin 'evocator,' an agent noun formed from 'evocare' (to call out) + the '-or' suffix. In Roman times, an 'evocator' was specifically a soldier recalled to military service. The meaning generalized to anyone who calls something forth.
Kelly Says
In Roman history, 'evocators' were retired soldiers who could be called back to the army in emergencies—the word literally means 'one who is called out.' That specific military sense evolved into the modern meaning of anyone who brings something forth, especially emotions or memories.
