Morphology

trampler = trample (transparent) = trample + er

The word 'trampler' is transparently derived from 'trample' with the agentive suffix '-er', indicating a person who performs the action.

Etymology

Trampler is made from the verb trample and the ending -er, which means 'one who does something', so it literally means 'one who tramples' or 'one who steps heavily'. Think of someone who stomps or stamps across the floor and makes loud, heavy steps — that's why a trampler is a noisy, heavy walker.
