Celebrater

/ˈsɛləbreɪtər/ noun

Definition

One who celebrates; a person who honors, commemorates, or performs ceremonies (archaic or rare variant of celebrator).

Etymology

From Latin 'celebrare' (to celebrate) plus '-er' suffix indicating one who performs the action.

Kelly Says

English created both 'celebrater' and 'celebrator' for the same meaning, but only 'celebrator' survived in modern usage—this is how language naturally prunes its own redundancy.
