Morphology

invoker = invoke (transparent) = invoke + er

Standard agentive formation: the verb 'invoke' + '-er' yields a person or thing that performs the action, which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Invoker comes from the Latin parts in- ('in') and vocare ('to call'), and it shares the same root as English words like vocal and voice. So an invoker is someone who 'calls' something into action, like a ritual leader who brings a spirit or idea forward.
