Morphology

rewriter = rewrite (transparent) = re + write + er

The noun clearly means a tool or program that rewrites text, which is a standard and productive instrumental use of '-er'.

Etymology

Rewriter comes from re- 'again' and write, so it means 'write again'. In computing, a rewriter is a computer program that 'writes text again' to change words or style while keeping the same meaning, so the name explains its job.
