Morphology
rebounder = rebound (semi-transparent) = re + bound + er
The suffix '-er' straightforwardly forms an agent noun meaning a player who rebounds.
Etymology
The word rebounder comes from re- 'again' and bound 'to jump or bounce back', with -er for a person. That is why a rebounder in games is a player who gets the ball after it 'bounces back' from a missed shot.
