Morphology

jogger = jog (transparent) = jog + er

Formed by the productive suffix '-er' from the verb 'jog' indicating an agent; the meaning 'person who jogs' is directly derived.

Etymology

Jogger comes from the verb jog, which probably began as a short, quick movement or shake and later came to mean 'to run slowly and steadily'. So a jogger is simply someone who runs at that calm, regular pace.
