Morphology

yielder = yield (transparent) = yield + er

The agentive/nominal suffix '-er' attaches to the verb 'yield' to denote an entity that produces or yields something, which is a standard, productive pattern.

Etymology

Yielder comes from the old verb yield, which also meant 'to give out' or 'to produce'. So a yielder can be a person or thing that 'provides' results, like a field that gives a big harvest or a company that gives good profits.
