Morphology

discharger = discharge (opaque) = dis + charge + er

Once the verb sense 'discharge' is known, adding '-er' straightforwardly gives the person or entity that performs the action.

Etymology

Discharger comes from the parts dis- meaning 'away' and charge meaning a 'fee' or 'debt', just like the word charge you know when you pay money. So a discharger is someone who makes a debt go 'away' by paying or settling it.
