Morphology

doser = dose (transparent) = dose + er

This is a regular agent/instrument noun built from the verb 'dose' with the suffix '-er', so the meaning is straightforwardly recoverable.

Etymology

Doser comes from the word dose (from Greek dosis meaning 'a giving') plus the agent -er meaning 'one who does', so a doser is literally 'one that gives a dose' and that explains why it names a device that measures and releases exact amounts of liquid.
