hander = hand (transparent) = hand + er

The noun clearly means a person who does the action expressed by 'hand' plus the agentive suffix '-er'.

Etymology

Hander comes from the simple word hand plus the ending -er, which means 'one who'. So a hander is simply 'one who gives or passes something by hand', and that is why the word is used for a person who hands things to someone else.
