Morphology

classifier = classify (transparent) = class + ify + er

Standard agentive formation from 'classify' indicating an algorithm or device that performs classification.

Etymology

The word classifier comes from class meaning 'group' and the parts -ify ('to make') and -er ('one who'), so it literally means 'one who makes groups'. In computing and statistics, a classifier is a program or rule that assigns items into groups, which is why we call algorithms that sort data 'classifiers'.
