Morphology

unlocker = unlock (semi-transparent) = un + lock + er

The immediate morphological formation is the regular agentive '-er' on 'unlock', which is itself transparent (un- + lock).

Etymology

Unlocker comes from un- 'not' or 'reverse', lock 'to fasten', and -er 'one who', like someone who opens a closed box. That's why an unlocker can mean a person or thing that helps 'open' and free someone's ideas or abilities.
