Morphology

groover = groove (transparent) = groove + er

Formed from the verb 'groove' plus the agent/instrument suffix '-er', so the tool meaning is directly derivable.

Etymology

Groover comes from the word groove plus the ending -er, where groove means 'a long, narrow cut' and -er means 'one who' or 'something that', so a groover is a tool that makes grooves.
