Morphology

liker = like (transparent) = like + er

Productive agentive formation from the verb 'like' with the suffix '-er' yields a person who likes or shows approval, which is directly inferable by learners.

Etymology

The word liker is built from the simple verb like ('to enjoy') and the ending -er, which means 'one who', just like in teacher or player. So a liker is 'one who likes' something, often today someone who clicks the 'like' button online.
