Morphology

embracer = embrace (transparent) = embrace + er

Formed from the verb 'embrace' + '-er' with a clear agent/instrument meaning: something that embraces or encloses.

Etymology

Embracer comes from em- 'in' and brace meaning 'arm', the same root as bracelet. So an embracer is something that 'puts things in its arms'—it wraps around or supports another object.
