Etymology
From absorbere + -ator, first part from Latin absorbēre (“absorb”), from both ab- (“from, away from, off”), from ab (“from, away from, on, in”), from Proto-Italic *ab, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂epó (“off, away”), + and from sorbeō (“to suck in, drink up”), from Proto-Italic *sorβeō (“to suck in”), from Proto-Indo-European *srobʰéyeti (“to be sipping, sucking”), from *srebʰ- (“to sip, gulp, suck (in)”) and *-éyeti, from *-yeti (creates transitive imperfective verbs). Last part from Latin -ātor (“-ator, -er”), a form of -tor (“-er”), from Proto-Italic *-tōr, from Proto-Indo-European *-tōr < *-tor-s. See: Latin Nouns '
