Morphology

celebrater = celebrate (transparent) = celebrate + er

The noun is regularly formed from the verb 'celebrate' with the agentive suffix '-er' and directly means 'one who celebrates'.

Etymology

Celebrater comes from the verb celebrate, which comes from an old Latin word meaning 'to honor' or 'make important', and from the ending -er meaning 'one who does something', like in teacher. So a celebrater is someone who honors or enjoys an event.
