History
Etymology
From urinate + -or (suffix forming an agent noun, indicating a person who does something).
From Latin ūrīnātor (“diver”), from ūrīnārī + -tor (suffix forming a (masculine) agent noun). Ūrīnārī is the present active infinitive of ūrīnor (“to plunge under water, dive”), possibly from ūrīna (“urine; water (?)”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h2wer- (“to moisten; to flow”).
