Morphology

mounter = mount (transparent) = mount + er

The word 'mounter' is transparently derived from the verb 'mount' with the addition of the suffix '-er' to indicate an agent noun.

Etymology

Mounter comes from the verb mount, meaning 'to put or attach', and the ending -er means 'a thing that does'. So a mounter can be a machine that 'attaches' tiny electronic parts to a circuit board quickly and precisely.
