Morphology

fryer = fry (transparent) = fry + er

Formed from the verb 'fry' + the agent/instrument suffix '-er'; a B1 learner who knows 'fry' can infer an appliance used for frying.

Etymology

The word fryer comes from the verb fry ('to cook in hot oil') plus the ending -er ('one who' or 'that which does'), like in baker. So a fryer is simply a machine or tool that fries food.
