Morphology

enchanter = enchant (transparent) = enchant + er

Standard agentive formation from the verb 'enchant' (+ -er), so 'enchanter' meaning 'one who enchants' is directly predictable.

Etymology

Enchanter comes from an old root that means 'to sing' and is the same root as chant. Because magic was often thought to work by singing or saying special words, an enchanter is someone who uses spells.
