Morphology

mounter = mount (transparent) = mount + er

Agentive '-er' added to the verb 'mount' yields a person who mounts; the derivation is straightforward for learners.

Etymology

Mounter comes from the verb mount, which means 'to put or fix something in place' — the same idea as when you 'mount' a horse or 'mount' a picture — and the ending -er means 'one who does'. So a mounter is a person who puts pictures, jewels, or artwork into their proper place.
