Morphology

perceiver = perceive (semi-transparent) = perceive + er

Formally an agentive noun from 'perceive', but the specialized technical sense ('device or component that perceives') requires domain knowledge beyond the simple agentive inference.

Etymology

Perceiver comes from Latin parts per- meaning 'through' and capere meaning 'to take', the same root as capture. So a perceiver in technology is a device or program that 'takes in' sensor data and tries to understand the world around it.
