Morphology

cleaner = clean (transparent) = clean + er

A metaphorical/instrumental extension of 'clean' formed by verb + '-er' to mean 'program that cleans'; widely used and predictable.

Etymology

Cleaner uses the same root clean, meaning 'free from dirt', and a software cleaner borrows that image to remove old files and 'digital dirt' so a computer has more space and works better.
