Morphology

advisor = advise (transparent) = advise + or

The software sense is an extension of 'one who gives advice' to a non-human agent, which remains derivable from 'advise' + '-or'.

Etymology

Advisor is also used for software that gives financial advice; it keeps the same idea of 'looking at' your money and telling you what to do, so the word fits both a human expert and an app.
