Morphology

embedder = embed (transparent) = embed + er

The suffix '-er' clearly indicates a person or thing that performs the action of the verb 'embed'.

Etymology

Embedder comes from embed, which is from em- 'in' and bed 'bed', and the -er ending means 'one who' or 'a thing that'. So an embedder is someone or something that 'puts into a bed' — that is, fixes or places one thing firmly inside another, like setting a gem into a ring or inserting an image into a document.
