Morphology

maximizer = maximize (transparent) = maximize + er

Productive agent/instrument noun formation from the verb 'maximize' using the regular suffix '-er', so the meaning 'a device that maximizes' is directly derived.

Etymology

Maximizer comes from the word maximum, which means 'the most' or 'greatest', so an audio maximizer is a tool that pushes a sound to be as loud as possible while keeping the sound clear.
