Morphology

charterer = charter (transparent) = charter + er

Agentive '-er' applied to the verb 'charter' (in the sense 'to grant a charter') yields 'charterer' meaning 'one who grants a charter', a directly predictable formation.

Etymology

Charterer comes from charter, from the old word charta meaning 'paper' that gives rights. So a charterer in the legal sense is the person or body that gives that paper and therefore formally creates or authorises an institution.
