Morphology

jiggler = jiggle (transparent) = jiggle + er

Agentive formation from 'jiggle' + '-er' directly yields 'one that jiggles', so the meaning is straightforward.

Etymology

Jiggler comes from the verb jiggle, which is like a little movement related to the lively dance jig, and the ending -er means 'one who does' or 'a tool that does'. So a jiggler is a person or device that makes short, quick shakes to loosen or mix things.
