Morphology

ogler = ogle (transparent) = ogle + er

Clearly formed from the verb 'ogle' with the agentive suffix '-er' yielding 'one who ogles', a straightforward and productive derivation.

Etymology

The word ogler comes from the verb ogle and the ending -er. Ogle means a long, often sexual 'stare' or 'look', so an ogler is someone who gives that unwanted attention.
