The word "alliterator" is derived from the combination of two words: "alliterate" and the suffix "-or".
"Alliterate" is derived from the Latin word "alliteratus", which means "to play with letters" or "to begin with the same letter". It is composed of two parts: "ad" meaning "to" or "towards", and "littera" meaning "letter" or "script". The term was initially used to describe the repetition of the same sound or letter at the beginning of neighboring words or syllables, particularly in poetry.
The suffix "-or" is derived from the Latin suffix "-or", which is used to indicate an agent or doer. It is added to verbs to form nouns that refer to a person or thing that performs the action described by the verb.
