Morphology

circler = circle (transparent) = circle + er

Derived by adding '-er' to the verb 'circle' to denote a person who performs the action of circling/highlighting, which is straightforward.

Etymology

Circler comes from the word circle (a 'ring') plus the ending -er ('one who does'), so it simply means 'one who draws or makes a circle'. That's why a circler can be the person who marks important words by putting a ring around them.
