Morphology

conserver = conserve (transparent) = conserve + er

Productive agent/instrument noun formed from the verb 'conserve' with the regular suffix '-er', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

The word conserver comes from the Latin conservare, made of con- 'with' and servare 'to keep', and it shares its root with conserve and preserve. So a conserver is a container that 'keeps' food fresh for later.
