Morphology

recaller = recall (transparent) = recall + er

Standard agentive '-er' on the verb 'recall' produces 'recaller' meaning 'one who remembers', which is directly derivable.

Etymology

The word recaller comes from re- 'again' and call 'to bring to mind' or 'remember'. So a recaller is someone who brings things back to mind or is good at remembering.
