Morphology

bronzer = bronze (transparent) = bronze + er

The noun is formed regularly from the verb 'bronze' with '-er', meaning something that bronzes the skin.

Etymology

The word bronzer comes from bronze, the metal name that also describes a brown-gold color, so a bronzer is something that gives the skin a 'bronzed' or 'tanned' look.
