liquidizer

/lˈɪkwɪdˌaɪzɚ/ noun

A machine to chop or puree food; a blender.

Word Origin From Latin liquere 'to be fluid' — liquid is something that flows. Add the Greek suffix -ize 'to make' and Latin -er 'one who does,' and a liquidizer is a thing that makes things liquid. The same root gives us liquid, liquidity, liquidate (turn into cash, originally 'make clear'), and liquor.
