覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず judge を芯に置くと覚えやすい語です。adjudicate（裁定する）の人版が adjudicator。judicial と同じく「判断・裁き」系で、-or / -ator は「その役の人」。単なる observer や commentator ではなく、争い・採点・審査で最終判断を下す側に立つ語です。contest adjudicator, dispute adjudicator のように「競技や紛争で結論を出す人」と場面ごとセットで覚えると定着します。
Keep `judge` at the center of the word. An `adjudicator` is the person connected with `adjudicate`, just as an `actor` acts. Remember it as someone who gives the final decision in a contest, dispute, or formal review.

adjudicator の語源・成り立ち Etymology
adjudicatorはad-「〜へ」+ judic-「裁く」+ -ator「する人」から成るラテン語系の語です。judgeやjudicialと同根で、「判断をある結論へ持っていく人」と考えると、争いに決着をつける裁定者だとわかります。
Adjudicator comes from Latin-based parts: ad- "to," judic- "judge," and -ator "person who does." It is closely related to judge and judicial. The original sense is a person who brings a matter to judgment, which then became the idea of someone who gives a formal decision.
