Morphology

diaper + changer

The compound is directly built from 'diaper' (the garment) and 'changer' (something that effects a change), so the phrase transparently denotes an object or surface used for changing diapers. This is a regular noun‑noun composition with clear cross‑linguistic equivalents (e.g., 'cambiador de pañales'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Diaper changer comes from the simple idea of a person who 'changes a diaper'. Imagine someone lifting a baby, cleaning them and putting on a fresh diaper, and you can see why the changer means the person who does that job.
