Morphology

tripler = triple (transparent) = triple + er

Standard agentive formation from the verb 'triple' using '-er', meaning 'one who causes something to become three times as much'.

Etymology

Tripler comes from triple ('three times') plus the ending -er ('one who does'). The part tri- means 'three', as in triangle or trio, so a tripler is something that makes things three times as much.
