Morphology

scheduler = schedule (transparent) = schedule + er

Standard agent/instrument nominalization from the verb 'schedule' with '-er'; the sense 'person or tool that arranges times' follows directly from the base.

Etymology

Scheduler is formed from schedule plus -er, where -er means 'one who does'. Think of schedule as a 'small slip of paper', from Latin schedula, used to write times and tasks, so a scheduler is a person or tool that makes the plan and stops meetings or tasks from happening at the same time.
