Morphology

partitioner = partition (transparent) = partition + er

The meaning is directly built from the verb 'partition' plus the agent noun suffix '-er'.

Etymology

Partitioner comes from the word partition, which has the root part meaning 'a piece' or 'share', and the ending -er meaning 'one who'. So a partitioner is literally 'one who makes parts', like a tool or person who divides a room into separate sections.
