Morphology
straightener = straighten (transparent) = straight + en + er
The agentive noun is transparently formed from the verb 'straighten' with the productive suffix '-er'.
Etymology
Straightener comes from the word straight ('not bent or curved') plus -en ('to make') and -er ('one that does something'). So a straightener is literally 'something that makes things straight', like the tool used to smooth hair or other materials.
