Morphology

expressor = express (semi-transparent) = express + or

Formally 'express' + agentive suffix '-or' is clear, but the machine sense relies on the less familiar 'press/squeeze out' meaning of 'express', which many learners may not know.

Etymology

Expressor comes from express (made of ex- 'out' and press 'to push') plus the ending -or 'one who'. Think of pressing an orange to 'push out' the juice, so an expressor is a machine that squeezes to get liquid out.
