Morphology

normalizer = normalize (transparent) = normal + izer

The suffix '-er' clearly indicates an agent noun derived from the verb 'normalize'.

Etymology

Normalizer comes from normal and the ending -izer, where -izer means 'one who does'. Normal originally meant a 'rule' or a 'square' used to make things straight, so a normalizer is someone or something that makes things follow the same 'rule' or 'standard'.
