Morphology

grainer = grain (transparent) = grain + er

Formed by the productive agentive suffix '-er' on the verb 'grain', so the meaning 'one or a tool that creates a grain pattern' follows directly.

Etymology

Grainer comes from the word grain, which here means the natural lines or 'texture' you see in wood or leather. A grainer is a person or tool that makes or copies that pattern, so they can make plain furniture look like nicer wood.
