Morphology

embedder = embed (semi-transparent) = embed + er

Morphological structure is clear ('embed' + '-er'), but the ML-specific sense ('a program that maps inputs to numeric vectors') is a technical extension not obvious to general learners.

Etymology

Embedder comes from embed, which is from em- 'in' and bed 'bed', and the -er ending means 'one who' or 'a thing that'. A helpful way to remember the technical meaning is to imagine a computer tucking words or images into a small number 'bed' or place, because an embedder turns them into numbers the machine can use and so 'puts' data into a fixed space.
