Morphology

reconciler = reconcile (transparent) = reconcile + er

This is a regular agent-noun formation from the verb 'reconcile', meaning a person who reconciles others.

Etymology

The word reconciler comes from re- 'again' and a root meaning 'bring together', the same idea behind council, so a reconciler is someone who brings people back together and restores friendly relations.
