Morphology
snubber = snub (semi-transparent) = snub + er
The device sense is formed by the productive pattern verb + -er (instrument), but the verb sense 'snub' meaning 'to check or suppress' is less familiar to general learners, making the technical instrument meaning only partially guessable.
Etymology
Snubber comes from the verb snub, which once meant to 'check' or stop a rope quickly, as sailors do when they hold a line fast. So a snubber is a device that checks sudden movement and soaks up shocks.
