Morphology

consulter = consult (opaque) = consult + er

Although formed from 'consult' + '-er', this sense means 'the person who is asked for advice' (the adviser), which reverses the expected agentive role and is not predictably derived by standard agentive rules.

Etymology

The word consulter comes from the same root as consult and consultant, from an old Latin verb consulere meaning 'to ask advice'. So a consulter in the sense of an adviser is someone people go to for expert advice.
