Morphology
experimenter = experiment (transparent) = experiment + er
The agentive suffix '-er' attaches to 'experiment' (verb) to form 'experimenter' meaning 'a person who experiments', a straightforward derivation.
Etymology
Experimenter comes from the root experiment, from an old word meaning 'to try', plus the ending -er which means 'a person who'. It shares the same root as experience, so an experimenter is someone who likes to 'try' new ways and test ideas, which fits creative trying in the kitchen or art class.
