Morphology

completer = complete (transparent) = complete + er

Form and meaning are a direct agentive derivation from the verb 'complete' using the productive suffix '-er'.

Etymology

Completer comes from the word complete, made of com- 'with' and the root plere 'to fill', the same root as plenty meaning 'full'. So a completer is someone who 'fills' what is missing and therefore finishes or brings something to an end.
