One who compenses; a person or thing that compensates or makes up for something.
Agent noun formed from the archaic verb 'compense' using the suffix '-er.' This represents an older pattern of English word formation before 'compensator' became the standard term.
English has multiple ways to say almost the same thing—'compensator,' 'compenser,' and 'compensating agent' all mean similar things, but they evolved at different times and in different contexts. It's linguistic history layered in vocabulary!
