One who inhabits; a dweller or resident; an inhabitant.
From Latin habitator, meaning 'one who dwells,' derived from habitare. This Latin agent noun (formed with -or) entered English but remained rare, superseded by 'inhabitant' and 'resident'.
Habitator is a perfect example of how English borrowed Latin vocabulary but then pruned it—we preferred 'inhabitant' because it sounded more English and established a consistent word family!
