Morphology

blender = blend (transparent) = blend + er

Productive agent/instrument noun formed from the verb 'blend' with the regular suffix '-er', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

The word blender comes from the word blend meaning 'to mix' and the ending -er meaning 'one who does', so a blender is literally 'the thing that mixes', which fits the kitchen machine used to mix, chop, or puree food.
