Morphology

glasser = glass (transparent) = glass + er

This is a regular agent noun meaning a person who works with glass, and the role is directly recoverable from the base noun plus '-er'.

Etymology

Glasser comes from the simple parts glass + -er, where -er means 'someone who does'. In this sense a glasser is 'one who fits or installs glass', for example putting panes into windows, so the word means a worker who installs or repairs glass.
