Morphology

coherer = cohere (transparent) = cohere + er

A straightforward agent noun from 'cohere' meaning a person or thing that causes or exhibits coherence.

Etymology

Coherer comes from the Latin parts co- ('together') and haerēre ('to stick'), the same root you see in coherent meaning 'holding together'. So, a coherer is someone or something that brings separate parts or ideas together and helps them 'hold' as one.
