Morphology

promenader = promenade (transparent) = promenade + er

The agentive suffix '-er' straightforwardly forms 'one who promenades' from the verb/noun 'promenade'.

Etymology

Promenader comes from the French verb promener, which means 'to walk' and is the same root as the English promenade. So in a formal dance a promenader is someone who walks in the procession or leads the group.
