Root Explanation

Laminator → It is formed from "lamina" (from Latin, meaning a thin layer or plate) and "-tor" (meaning one who). A laminator is a device or person that applies a thin layer to something, typically for protection or enhancement.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'thin layer' ('lamina') being applied by 'one who' ('-tor') — that's what a laminator does.
