Morphology

Redditor = Reddit (transparent) = Reddit + or

Formed directly from the site name 'Reddit' plus the agentive suffix '-or', so the meaning 'a person who uses Reddit' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Redditor comes from the website name Reddit, which was made to sound like 'read it'. The ending -or, as in editor or actor, means 'a person who does something', so a Redditor is someone who uses or takes part in Reddit.
