Morphology

incher = inch (transparent) = inch + er

The word is transparently formed from 'inch' plus the size-denoting suffix '-er', meaning something measured in inches.

Etymology

Incher comes from inch, the small unit meaning 'a unit of length', and it names something measured in inches, like a 'twelve-incher' ruler or a 'fifty-five-incher' TV.
