Morphology

practicer = practice (transparent) = practice + er

Agentive '-er' on 'practice' yields 'one who practices' (here 'a professional'), so the formation is straightforward even if the more common lexical choice is 'practitioner'.

Etymology

Practicer comes from the word practice, which also grew to mean a person's work or business, and the ending -er means 'someone who does'. So a practicer can be a professional who carries out a job, for example in medicine or law.
