Morphology

renderer = render (transparent) = render + er

Standard agentive formation from the verb 'render' (to generate images), yielding 'a program or device that renders'.

Etymology

Renderer comes from the Latin reddere 'to give back', and in computing it means a program that 'gives' or produces an image from data. That's why a computer renderer turns numbers and models into the pictures you see on screen.
