Morphology

nullifier = nullify (transparent) = null + ify + er

Standard agent/instrument derivation from the verb 'nullify' to denote someone who invalidates documents.

Etymology

Nullifier comes from the root null meaning 'not any' or 'nothing' and the ending -er meaning 'one who'. So an official nullifier is someone who makes a document or decision 'null' — in other words, cancels or voids it.
