Etymology
Informator entered Romanian from French informateur, itself built on Latin informare, meaning to give shape or instruction to something. The Latin agent suffix -tor, meaning one who does, was added to mark the person who performs the action. Romanian kept the word largely intact, applying it to anyone who supplies information, often to authorities.
