Adding the agentive suffix '-er' to 'rationalize' creates a clear agent or device meaning ('one that rationalizes').

Etymology

The word rationalizer comes from the old Latin word ratio, which means 'reason' or 'calculation'. So, a rationalizer is someone who uses 'reason' and careful calculation to make a system simpler and reduce waste.
