Morphology

conceptualizer = conceptualize (transparent) = concept + ual + ize + er

The agentive suffix '-er' attached to the verb 'conceptualize' yields a straightforward agent noun meaning 'one who conceptualizes.'

Etymology

Conceptualizer starts with concept, a common word for a 'formed idea' or 'plan', and ends with -izer, a part that means 'one who makes or does'. So a conceptualizer is literally 'one who makes ideas', which explains why it means a person, system, or tool that creates new ideas or plans.
