Morphology

chooser = choose (transparent) = choose + er

Standard agentive noun formed by adding the productive suffix '-er' to the verb 'choose', yielding 'a person who chooses'.

Etymology

The word chooser comes from the verb choose, which means 'to pick', plus the ending -er, which means 'one who'. So a chooser is simply 'one who picks' from a group.
