Morphology

puker = puke (transparent) = puke + er

Clear agentive formation from the verb 'puke' with the productive suffix '-er', so the meaning 'person who vomits' is directly derived.

Etymology

The word puker comes from the verb puke, a word that copies the sound of vomiting, plus the ending -er meaning 'one who'. So, a puker is literally 'one who vomits'.
