Surface Forms
Morphology
homeschooler = homeschool (transparent) = home + school + er
Formed by the compounding 'home' + 'school' (homeschool) plus the agentive suffix '-er', so a learner who knows these parts can infer 'a person involved in homeschooling (often the teacher)'.
Etymology
Homeschooler is built from home, school, and the ending -er, so it literally means a person who 'teaches at home'. That's why a homeschooler often is a parent who teaches their own children instead of sending them to a regular school.
