Morphology

racker = rack (transparent) = rack + er

Agentive '-er' added to the verb 'rack' yields 'racker' meaning 'one who racks', a direct and productive formation.

Etymology

Racker comes from rack ('frame or tool for holding things') and the part -er ('one who does'). In pool or billiards a racker is the person who puts the balls into the triangle rack to start the game, so the word means someone who arranges the balls before play.
