Morphology

twicer = twice (semi-transparent) = twice + er

Formed by adding the agentive suffix '-er' to the adverb 'twice'; meaning is inferable but the formation is nonstandard/uncommon, so only partially regular for learners.

Etymology

The word twicer comes from twice ('two times') and the ending -er ('one who'). So a twicer is someone who does something again, often in a way other people do not like.
