Morphology

footer = foot (semi-transparent) = foot + er

The form is built from 'foot' + '-er', but the page-bottom sense is a specialized metaphorical extension rather than a fully literal compositional meaning.

Etymology

Footer comes from foot, which means the 'bottom' or lowest part of something, like the 'foot' of a page. So a footer is the text or line placed at the bottom of each page.
