salutator

From salutō (“greet”) +‎ -tor.

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): [sa.ɫuːˈtaː.tɔr]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): [sa.luˈt̪aː.t̪or]

salūtātor m (genitive salūtātōris, feminine salūtātrīx); third declension

1. one who greets; a greeter, saluter
   • c. 4 BCE – 65 CE, Seneca the Younger, Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium 47.18:

     Ita inquit prōrsus: “Cōlant tamquam clientēs, tamquam salūtātōrēs!”

     So [this] he says plainly: “[Slaves] should pay respect as if [they are] clients, as if morning-greeters!”
     (In other words, critics will claim that Seneca advocates treating slaves as if they were already freedmen, who became clientes of their former master, the patronus. See: salutatio, a formal morning ritual where clients would visit their patron to pay respects and receive patronage.)

Third-declension noun.
