Morphology

practicer = practice (transparent) = practice + er

Standard agentive formation: '-er' added to the verb 'practice' yields 'one who practices', so the meaning is directly derivable.

Etymology

Practicer comes from the word practice, which comes from an old Greek word meaning 'to do', and the ending -er simply means 'someone who does'. So a practicer is a person who keeps doing an activity again and again to get better.
