The suffix '-er' denotes an agent noun, meaning 'one who energizes' or 'a device that energizes'.

Etymology

Energizer comes from the word energy, which goes back to the Greek energeia meaning 'activity' and the older word ergon meaning 'work', and the ending -izer means 'something that gives'. So an energizer is a device that gives electrical energy to a circuit or system, like a battery or power unit.
