Morphology

recognizer = recognize (transparent) = recognize + er

The word transparently means 'one who or something that recognizes', formed by adding the agentive suffix '-er' to the verb 'recognize'.

Etymology

Recognizer breaks into two parts: re- meaning 'again' and cogn- meaning 'know'. So a recognizer is something or someone that 'knows again'—it finds or identifies things it has seen or learned before.
