Morphology

bundler = bundle (semi-transparent) = bundle + er

Built from 'bundle' + '-er' with a metaphorical extension to software (one that groups or manages packages), which is predictable for tech users but somewhat specialized for general learners.

Etymology

Bundler comes from bundle 'a group of things tied together' plus -er 'someone or something that does'. In software, a bundler groups packages or parts of a program so they can be installed together, just like tying items into a single bundle.
