Morphology

creaser = crease (transparent) = crease + er

Formed by the verb 'crease' + agent/instrumentive suffix '-er'; learners who know 'crease' and '-er' can readily infer 'a person who makes creases'.

Etymology

Creaser comes from the verb crease, which means 'to fold' or 'to press', plus the ending -er meaning 'one who does'. So a creaser is a person who makes neat folds or sharp lines in cloth, paper, or cardboard.
