Morphology

squeezer = squeeze (transparent) = squeeze + er

Standard agent/instrument nominalization from the verb 'squeeze' using the productive suffix '-er', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

The word squeezer comes from squeeze ('press tightly') plus the ending -er ('one who does' or 'a thing that does'). So a squeezer is literally a tool that presses fruit to get the juice.
