Morphology

mincer = mince (transparent) = mince + er

Formed from the verb 'mince' plus the productive agent/instrument suffix '-er', so the meaning 'device for mincing' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Mincer comes from the verb mince, which comes from an old Latin root meaning 'small' and is the same root in minute. So a mincer is a tool that cuts food into very 'small' pieces.
