Morphology

rememberer = remember (semi-transparent) = remember + er

Formed from 'remember' + '-er' but used as an instrument or memory aid rather than the prototypical agent, which is a less expected extension for some learners.

Etymology

Rememberer can also mean an object that helps you remember something; it is built from re- 'again' and mem- 'mind', like memory and memo. So a stone, note, or bracelet can be a rememberer because it helps bring a memory back.
