combiner = combine (transparent) = combine + er

Clear, regular derivation: 'combine' + agent/instrument suffix '-er' yields 'one or that which combines'.

Etymology

Combiner comes from the verb combine, built from the part com- meaning 'together' and a root meaning 'join'. So a combiner is a device that joins two or more signals or streams into one output.
