Morphology

remodeler = remodel (semi-transparent) = re + model + er

Adding '-er' to 'remodel' straightforwardly gives a noun meaning something that remodels.

Etymology

Remodeler comes from the parts re- 'again', model 'shape' or 'form', and -er 'one who'. In biology, a remodeler is a protein that 'remakes' the shape of the DNA package in a cell, so it changes how genes are used.
