Morphology

stroller = stroll (semi-transparent) = stroll + er

Formed from 'stroll' + '-er' (agent/instrumental), but the specialized object sense 'baby carriage' is an extended instrumental meaning that may not be fully obvious to all learners.

Etymology

Stroller comes from the verb stroll, which means 'to walk slowly'. A helpful way to remember it is to picture a small, wheeled seat you push when you take a baby for a walk, so a stroller is the small vehicle you push while strolling.
