Morphology

pickler = pickle (semi-transparent) = pickle + er

Morphologically regular (verb + -er), but the computing sense (serialize/convert data) is a domain-specific extension of the food-preserving sense and not obvious to general learners.

Etymology

Pickler comes from pickle (to 'preserve') and the ending -er meaning 'one that does'. In computing, a pickler is a tool that 'preserves' data by turning it into a form you can save or send.
