Morphology
strengthener = strengthen (transparent) = strength + en + er
Formed by adding '-er' to the verb 'strengthen' (which itself is 'strength' + '-en'); the agent/instrument meaning is directly inferable.
Etymology
Strengthener is built from strength, from the word strong, plus the endings -en meaning 'make' and -er meaning 'something that' or 'one who'. So, a strengthener is something that 'makes strong' or gives extra support and strength.
