Morphology

clicker = click (opaque) = click + er

Although morphologically 'click' + '-er', the specialised occupational sense 'machine or person who cuts leather' is domain-specific and not predictable from the base meaning.

Etymology

Clicker for a leather cutter is an older use of the word and one helpful way to remember it is to think of the quick action or small 'click' the cutting tool can make. That's why the person or machine that cuts leather pieces is called a clicker.
