Morphology

electrifier = electrify (transparent) = electrify + er

The word 'electrifier' is transparently derived from 'electrify' with the addition of the suffix '-er', indicating a person or device that performs the action.

Etymology

Electrifier comes from electric, which comes from an old Greek word elektron meaning 'amber'. Long ago people found that rubbing amber made a small electric charge, so 'electric' was linked to a kind of power you can feel. That's why an electrifier is a person or device that gives 'electric' power to equipment.
