explicator
One who elucidates
An explicator is someone who explicates—who explains, interprets, or unfolds the meaning of something.
The term appears most often in literary and academic contexts, referring to critics or scholars who analyze texts in detail: The professor was a patient explicator of difficult poetry.
Less formal than exegete, more precise than explainer.
