Morphology

evolver = evolve (transparent) = evolve + er

Regular agentive/nominal formation from 'evolve' yielding 'one that evolves' (i.e., something that changes or develops).

Etymology

Evolver comes from evolve and the Latin root volvere, which means 'to roll' or 'unfold'. Picture something slowly unrolling step by step, and you can see why an evolver is something that changes or develops over time.
