Morphology

heightener = heighten (transparent) = height + en + er

Clear agent/instrument nominalization from the verb 'heighten' (height + -en) by adding '-er' to indicate something that makes or causes an increase in height.

Etymology

The word heightener comes from the common word height plus the verb part -en meaning 'make' and -er meaning 'one who' or 'thing that'. So a heightener is literally 'a thing that makes you taller', which fits shoe inserts or pads used to add height.
