Morphology

hazer = haze (semi-transparent) = haze + er

Morphologically regular (verb + -er), but the specific rodeo sense of the verb 'haze' is specialized and may be unknown to general learners.

Etymology

The word hazer comes from the verb haze, which here means 'to drive or guide an animal'. So a hazer rides beside the steer to keep it running straight and under control for the main rider.
