Morphology
accelerator = accelerate (transparent) = accelerate + or
Built from 'accelerate' + '-or'; a scientific instrument that increases particle speed is an obvious instrument nominalization.
Etymology
Accelerator comes from the Latin word accelerare, made of ad- 'to' and celer 'swift', so it means 'make faster'. In physics, a particle accelerator is a machine that makes tiny particles move much faster and gain more energy.
