Morphology

bagger = bag (transparent) = bag + er

Formed regularly from the verb 'bag' with the agent/instrument suffix '-er', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Bagger comes from the simple word bag and the ending -er, where -er means 'one who' or 'thing that does'. So a bagger can be a machine that 'bags' things, like a factory device that fills sacks of flour or rice.
