Morphology

recharger = recharge (semi-transparent) = re + charge + er

The noun is formed from 'recharge' but the sense is metaphorical (restoring personal energy), so understanding requires knowledge of the figurative use.

Etymology

Recharger has re- meaning 'again' and charge meaning 'to give energy'. So a recharger is anything that helps you 'get energy again', like a short break, a walk, or your favorite hobby.
