Morphology

mooner = moon (transparent) = moon + er

Derived by adding '-er' to the verb 'moon' (to mope or daydream), producing 'one who moons' in the sense of someone habitually dreamy.

Etymology

The word mooner also comes from moon + -er: to 'moon over' someone means to daydream or long for them in a soft, dreamy way like looking at the 'moon', so a mooner is a person who is often lost in thought.
