Morphology

fashioner = fashion (transparent) = fashion + er

A straightforward agentive formation: 'fashion' (to make) + '-er' yields 'maker', so learners who know 'fashion' and '-er' can infer the meaning.

Etymology

Fashioner comes from fashion meaning 'to make' and the ending -er meaning 'one who does'. In old poems and religious writing it was used for the being who 'made' the world, so a fashioner can mean the creator or God.
