Yiddish
Etymology
Ultimately from French installateur (“installer”), with the particular ־טאָר (-tor) ending possibly coming from Romanian instalator (“plumber”), or influenced by semantically unrelated Lithuanian instaliatorius or Russian инсталлятор (installjator, “installer”). Compare Bulgarian инсталатор (instalator), German Installateur (a direct borrowing of which would've yielded a ־טער (-ter) ending).
