Morphology

budgeteer = budget (transparent) = budget + eer

The meaning is directly derived from 'budget' with the agentive suffix '-eer' yielding 'a person who deals with budgets', a pattern learners can generalize.

Etymology

Budgeteer combines budget (a 'plan for money') and the ending -eer, a common ending that means 'a person who does something', as in engineer. So a budgeteer is someone whose job is to plan or manage a budget.
