Morphology

expressor = express (transparent) = express + or

Direct agentive nominalization: 'express' (verb) + '-or' yields 'one that expresses', which is a straightforward and productive formation.

Etymology

Expressor comes from express (from ex- 'out' and press 'to push') with the ending -or 'one who'. So an expressor is someone or something that 'pushes out' ideas or feelings — in other words, shows or says them.
