Morphology

diluter = dilute (transparent) = dilute + er

The word 'diluter' is transparently derived from 'dilute' with the suffix '-er' indicating an agent or device that performs the action of diluting.

Etymology

Diluter comes from the verb dilute plus the agent ending -er, and dilute originally comes from a Latin word meaning 'to wash away'. So a diluter can be a device that mixes liquids to make them less strong, 'washing out' their concentration for accurate lab work.
