Morphology

exhibitioner = exhibition (semi-transparent) = exhibit + ion + er

The word is built from the recognizable base 'exhibition' plus the agentive suffix '-er', but the resulting meaning is somewhat specialized and not fully predictable.

Etymology

Exhibitioner comes from the common word exhibit, which means 'to show', and the related word exhibition, a public show. So an exhibitioner is a person who arranges or presents displays for others to see.
