Definition
Plural of dedicator; multiple people who dedicate or formally set aside something for a purpose or person.
Etymology
From 'dedicator' (from Latin 'dedicare' plus '-or') pluralized by adding '-s,' referring to groups of people performing dedication ceremonies or actions.
Kelly Says
Buildings and monuments often have multiple dedicators—city officials, donors, architects—and this word lets us acknowledge all the people who had a hand in officially creating something important.
