Morphology

rejector = reject (semi-transparent) = reject + or

The form 'reject' + '-or' yields a device that 'rejects' signals; the composition is regular but the sense is specialized technical jargon.

Etymology

The word rejector comes from re- 'back' and ject 'to throw', as in eject. In electronics a rejector 'throws back' or blocks certain frequencies, so it stops or removes unwanted signals.
