Pronunciation: [ɪvˈɒke͡ɪtə] (IPA) 
The word "evocator" is spelled with a hard "c" sound instead of a "k" sound, unlike its synonym "invoker." This is because the "c" is preceded by "a" and "o" that create the "k" sound, but the "e" before the "c" softens it to an "s" sound. The word is pronounced as /ɪˈvɒkətər/ in IPA phonetic transcription. The meaning of the word is one who calls forth or summons something or someone, often in a magical or spiritual context.
An "evocator" is a noun that refers to an individual who performs the act of evoking or summoning something. The term is derived from the verb "evoke," which means to bring forth, call upon, or elicit a particular emotion, memory, response, or image from someone or something.
In various contexts, an "evocator" may be someone who possesses the ability, talent, or knowledge to invoke a specific response or evoke a particular sentiment through art, such as music, literature, or visual works. These individuals have a deep understanding of the human psyche and possess the skills to tap into one's subconscious or emotional wellsprings, stirring deep feelings or memories.
In mystical or supernatural contexts, an "evocator" is often associated with magical or spiritual practices. These individuals are believed to have the power to summon or invoke supernatural entities, forces, or energies through rituals, spells, or incantations. They may be regarded as mystics, witches, shamans, or occult practitioners. Evocators of this nature are often considered gatekeepers between the material and the spiritual realms, capable of communing with otherworldly beings or harnessing ethereal powers.
Overall, an "evocator" is someone who possesses the ability to draw forth, elicit, or communicate a specific response, sentiment, or presence. Whether it pertains to artistic expression or mystical practices, evocators hold the power to ignite emotions, memories, or connections that resonate deeply within individuals.
The etymology of the word "evocator" is derived from the Latin term "evocare", which means "to call forth" or "to summon". In Latin, "evocare" is the combination of the prefix "e-" meaning "out" and "vocare" meaning "to call". The Latin term eventually evolved into the Old French "evocateur" and then into Middle English "evocatour", which finally became "evocator" in Modern English. The word "evocator" can therefore be understood as someone or something that calls forth or summons.
