Morphology

planner = plan (semi-transparent) = plan + er

The form is built from 'plan' + '-er', but the meaning has shifted from a person who plans to a notebook used for planning.

Etymology

Planner comes from the simple word plan, which means 'a list of steps or a schedule', and the ending -er makes it 'something used for' or 'someone who'. So a planner is literally a book for your plans, a place to write appointments, tasks and dates to help you stay organized.
