Morphology

debaucher = debauch (transparent) = debauch + er

The noun is a direct agentive formation from the English verb 'debauch' plus the productive agentive suffix '-er', so a learner who knows 'debauch' can infer the meaning.

Etymology

Debaucher comes from the French verb débaucher, where dé- means 'away' and the rest once meant 'to leave work', so it originally meant 'to lead someone away from work'. That's why a debaucher is a person who leads others away from good habits into wild parties and too much pleasure.
