Morphology

toner = tone (semi-transparent) = tone + er

The word is built transparently from 'tone' + '-er' as something that tones the skin, but the skincare-specific cleansing and tightening function is a specialized extension.

Etymology

Toner comes from tone, a word that once meant the 'firmness' or general quality of the skin. A cosmetic toner is a liquid used after washing to freshen and help skin feel firmer, so the name shows its purpose.
