Morphology

circler = circle (transparent) = circle + er

The word is transparently formed from the verb 'circle' plus the agent/instrument suffix '-er'.

Etymology

Circler comes from the word circle (a 'ring') plus the ending -er ('one who does'), so it gives a clear picture of someone or something that moves in or makes round loops. That's why a circler can be a bird or a child that goes around and around.
