Morphology

directioner = One Direction (semi-transparent) = direction + er

Formed by adding '-er' to the proper name 'One Direction'; the structure is clear but the sense requires knowledge of the band rather than the common noun 'direction'.

Etymology

The word directioner comes from the band's name One Direction plus the ending -er, which means 'a person who' and is the same ending in teacher and reader. So a directioner is simply a fan of the British-Irish boy band One Direction.
