modeler = model (transparent) = model + er

This is a straightforward agent noun formed from the verb 'model' with the productive suffix '-er'.

Etymology

Modeler comes from model, which goes back to the Latin modulus meaning 'small measure' or 'pattern'. A model is a small version or plan of something, and the -er part means 'a person who does', so a modeler is someone who makes models.
