rejecter = reject (semi-transparent) = reject + er

Formed by the agentive/instrumental '-er' on 'reject'; the device sense is logical but specialized technical usage may not be obvious to general learners.

Etymology

The word rejecter comes from the same Latin parts re- 'back' and jacere 'to throw', and you can think of it like a filter that pushes away what is not wanted. So a rejecter in electronics is a device that 'throws back' or blocks unwanted signals or frequencies.
