Morphology
plagiarizer = plagiarize (transparent) = plagiarize + er
Agentive '-er' is a standard, productive derivation from the verb 'plagiarize' meaning 'one who plagiarizes'.
Etymology
Plagiarizer comes from the Latin word plagiarius, which meant 'kidnapper' or 'stealer'. A helpful image is someone 'kidnapping' another person's words or ideas, and that's why a plagiarizer is someone who copies someone else's work and pretends it is their own.
