Morphology

penciler = pencil (transparent) = pencil + er

Standard agentive formation from the verb 'pencil' meaning 'one who pencils' (writes or makes provisional entries).

Etymology

Penciler comes from pencil + -er, where -er means 'one who'. A helpful way to remember this sense is that a penciler writes things in pencil because pencil marks can be 'erased', so their notes or schedules are meant to be changeable.
