Morphology

disassembler = disassemble (transparent) = dis + assemble + er

This is a standard noun formation from the verb 'disassemble', and the instrument meaning 'machine or tool that disassembles' is readily inferable.

Etymology

Disassembler comes from the parts dis- ('apart') and assemble ('to put together'), so the word means 'take apart'. In manufacturing or recycling, a disassembler is a machine that takes objects apart into their parts so those parts can be reused or repaired.
