Morphology

detoxifier = detoxify (transparent) = detox + er

Agent/instrument noun formed from the verb 'detoxify' with the regular suffix '-er', making the instrument/agent sense predictable.

Etymology

Detoxifier comes from de- 'remove' and toxin 'poison', a root you also see in the common word toxic, and the ending -ifier makes it 'a thing that does the action'. So a detoxifier can be a substance or device that removes toxins from a system, like a water filter that cleans harmful chemicals.
