Morphology

villager = village (semi-transparent) = village + er

The form is transparent, but the video-game sense is a specialized extension that is not fully predictable from the literal word formation alone.

Etymology

Villager comes from village, which comes from the old Latin villa meaning 'country house' or 'farm', and the ending -er means 'one from', just like in worker or teacher. In video games a villager is a character who represents a village resident, so the name shows they belong to that small community.
