Guessing that English is not your first language. It is just a fun suffix that turns anything into an invention. Like the name of the file being called suggestinator.py - an function that suggests outputs by concatenating "inator" to the end.

Maybe this cartoon will help or at least make you smile.

'inator' is the suffix in the new product's name. For example pass in bacon and presto the new product will be named baconinator.
