Morphology

griddler = griddle (semi-transparent) = griddle + er

The appliance name is built from 'griddle' plus '-er', but the device sense is somewhat specialized rather than a fully predictable everyday meaning.

Etymology

Griddler comes from the familiar word griddle, which is a flat hot surface for cooking, plus the ending -er that means 'a thing that does something'. So a griddler is a machine or tool used to cook food on a flat surface, like pancakes or sandwiches.
