Morphology

publicizer = publicize (transparent) = public + ize + er

The agent noun is formed by adding the productive agentive suffix '-er' to the verb 'publicize', which itself is transparently formed from 'public' + '-ize'.

Etymology

The word publicizer comes from the common word public, which means 'of the people' or open to everyone, and the ending -izer, which means 'one who makes or does something', as in the word organizer. So a publicizer is someone who 'makes things public' — a person whose job is to bring a person, event, or product to the attention of many people.
