Morphology

enricher = enrich (transparent) = en + rich + er

Formed from the verb 'enrich' with the agentive suffix '-er', clearly indicating 'one or that which enriches'.

Etymology

Enricher comes from the verb en- + rich, which together mean 'to make rich'. Think of a machine that makes a material more 'rich' in a wanted part, which is why a technical enricher raises the amount of a specific component in a substance.
