Morphology

jeweler = jewel (transparent) = jewel + er

The word is a regular agentive noun formed from 'jewel' plus '-er', meaning a person or business associated with jewels/jewelry.

Etymology

Jeweler comes from the word jewel, which once meant a small 'plaything' or pretty ornament, and the -er part means 'someone who does' or works with them. So a jeweler is a person who makes, sells, or repairs those small precious items.
