Morphology

paster = paste (transparent) = paste + er

Standard agent/instrument nominalization: the verb 'paste' + '-er' yields a person or device that pastes, directly predictable.

Etymology

Paster comes from the word paste ('soft glue') and the ending -er ('one who'), so it means a person who applies paste to stick labels, posters, or other items.
