Morphology

energizer = energize (transparent) = energy + ize + er

The agentive '-er' added to 'energize' straightforwardly yields 'a person who energizes'; the sense is predictable.

Etymology

Energizer comes from the word energy, from Greek energeia 'activity' and ergon 'work', and the ending -izer means 'someone who gives'. So an energizer is a person who gives energy and enthusiasm to others, like a lively teammate who lifts everyone's mood.
