Morphology

detoxifier = detoxify (transparent) = detox + er

Formed by adding the agent/instrument suffix '-er' to the verb 'detoxify', yielding an organism/substance that performs detoxification; the derivation is regular and clear.

Etymology

Detoxifier comes from de- 'remove' and toxin 'poison', and the ending -ifier means 'a thing that does it'. So a detoxifier can be an organism or substance that breaks down or absorbs harmful chemicals in the environment.
