Morphology
intoxicant = intoxicate (transparent) = intoxicate + ant
Formed by adding the agent/adjective-forming suffix '-ant' to the verb 'intoxicate', so the meaning is directly predictable from the verb.
Etymology
Intoxicant comes from old words meaning 'poison' and shares the same root as toxic and toxin, and the first part in- means 'into', so it once suggested 'putting poison into' someone. So an intoxicant is a substance that makes you drunk or unwell.
