Morphology

tiler = tile (transparent) = tile + er

The noun is transparently formed from 'tile' + '-er', meaning a person who works with tiles.

Etymology

Tiler comes from tile plus the ending -er, where -er means 'one who' and tile originally meant a 'roof tile'. So a tiler is literally 'one who lays tiles', which explains why a tiler fits tiles on floors, walls, or roofs.
