Morphology

infuser = infuse (transparent) = infuse + er

Formed by adding '-er' to 'infuse' to name an instrument that performs infusion (here a medical infusion device), a regular and predictable derivation.

Etymology

Infuser comes from the verb infuse, made of in- 'into' and fundere 'to pour', so it means 'to pour into'. That's why a medical infuser is a device that slowly 'pours' fluids or medicine into the body.
