Morphology

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

This is a standard agent noun in '-er' built from the verb 'discharge'.

Etymology

Discharger comes from the parts dis- meaning 'away' and charge meaning 'care' or 'responsibility', like when someone is 'in charge' of a task. So a discharger is a person who takes the responsibility away from someone else, removing them from a job or duty.
