Morphology

paver = pave (transparent) = pave + er

The noun meaning 'a stone used for paving' is a typical instrumental/nominal extension of 'pave' with '-er', so the relation is transparent.

Etymology

Paver comes from the verb pave and the word pavement, which mean 'to make a surface of stone, brick, or concrete'. So a paver is a single stone, brick, or block used to make a path, driveway, or patio.
