From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  deliminator /de-lim'-in-ay-t*r/ n. [portmanteau, delimiter + eliminate]
     A string or pattern used to delimit text into fields, but which is
     itself eliminated from the resulting list of fields. This jargon seems
     to have originated among Perl hackers in connection with the Perl
     split() function; however, it has been sighted in live use among Java
     and even Visual Basic programmers.
