Morphology

creaser = crease (transparent) = crease + er

Built from 'crease' + '-er' with the suffix functioning as instrumentive/agentive; learners can infer a tool that makes creases.

Etymology

Creaser comes from the verb crease 'to fold' or 'to press' together with the ending -er meaning 'a thing that does'. Think of a small tool that presses a neat line into paper or leather — that is exactly what a creaser does.
