ionizer

/ˈaɪəˌnaɪzɝ/ noun

a device that ionizes

Word Origin From Greek 'ion' meaning something that goes — because ions are atoms that go (migrate) in an electric field. An ionizer is a device that creates ions. The root also gives us 'anion' (going up) and 'cation' (going down). The PIE root *ei- means to go, and you can see it in 'exit' (go out) and 'itinerary' (journey).
