One who falsifies or forges documents, records, or facts; a forger or deceiver.
From Latin 'falsificator' (one who falsifies), based on 'falsificare' (to falsify). This formal, somewhat archaic term survives in legal and academic contexts.
This word shows up most in medieval and Renaissance legal documents—when scribes were the gatekeepers of written truth, falsificators were among the most feared and severely punished criminals.
