Morphology

networker = network (transparent) = network + er

This is a regular agent noun built from 'network' + '-er', and the occupational sense is directly recoverable from the base verb.

Etymology

The word networker comes from network (from net + work) and the ending -er meaning 'someone who does', so in technology it names a person who builds and cares for the web of cables and connections that lets computers talk to each other.
