Morphology

rebuilder = rebuild (transparent) = re + build + er

The noun is a regular agent or instrument formation from the verb 'rebuild', here in a computing context.

Etymology

Rebuilder comes from the part re- meaning 'again' and build meaning 'to make', so it means 'one who builds again'. In computing a rebuilder is a program or tool that puts damaged data or files back together after a problem, so the name fits the idea of 'building again' for software.
