Morphology

massager = massage (transparent) = massage + er

The instrument sense is a regular extension of the verb via '-er' (tool that performs the action), so the relation is transparent.

Etymology

Massager comes from the word massage, which originally meant 'to knead' like when you knead bread, and the ending -er can mean 'something that does'. So a massager is a tool or device that rubs, presses, or vibrates to relax your muscles.
