Morphology

diffusor = diffuse (transparent) = diffuse + or

Formed by the verb 'diffuse' plus the agentive/device suffix '-or', so the device meaning is directly derived from 'diffuse'.

Etymology

The word diffusor comes from the same root as diffuse, which means 'to spread out' and originally came from a Latin verb meaning 'to pour out'. So a diffusor is like something that 'pours' light or sound into a room so it spreads evenly.
