Morphology

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

The agentive/resultative '-er' applied to 'energize' produces 'that which gives energy' or 'a stimulus', which is a standard derivation.

Etymology

Energizer comes from energy, from Greek energeia 'activity' and ergon 'work', with -izer meaning 'something that gives'. So an energizer is something that gives energy or motivation, like coffee, music, or a short walk.
