Morphology
moisturizer = moisturize (transparent) = moisture + moisturize + ize + er
Formed by adding the agent/product suffix '-er' to the verb 'moisturize', producing a clear 'product/agent that adds moisture' meaning.
Etymology
Moisturizer comes from the simple word moist ('slightly wet'), plus the verb-making -ize ('to make') and the ending -er ('one that'), so it literally means 'something that makes moist'. That's why a moisturizer is a cream or lotion that keeps your skin soft and hydrated.
