Morphology

actioner = action (semi-transparent) = act + ion + er

The word is built on the recognizable base 'action', but the specialized mechanical sense of the suffixal form is less predictable than ordinary agentive nouns.

Etymology

Actioner comes from action ('doing, movement') plus the ending -er that makes a thing. So an actioner is the part or device that 'does' or starts movement in a machine.
