A communicator is someone who can put ideas or feelings across so other people really receive them. We use it as praise: a clear communicator, a gifted communicator. Job ads say “excellent communicator” when they want someone who explains without fog — in speech, writing, or sometimes pictures and signs. It is not about talking the most. A quiet person can be a fine communicator if people leave knowing what was meant. The word names the person, not the message.
善於表達的人、溝通者(稱讚表達清楚,不是「愛說話」)
組成communicate + -or (“the person who does this”), after Latin commūnicātor; French had communicateur in an older “sharer” sense.
