Morphology

partitioner = partition (semi-transparent) = partition + er

The form is regular, but this sense is a specialized legal extension of the basic idea of partitioning.

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 'one who divides shares', used for someone who carries out the formal division of shared property in a legal process.
