Morphology

replier = reply (transparent) = reply + er

Standard agentive formation: 'reply' + '-er' yields 'one that replies', which learners can infer from the verb.

Etymology

Replier comes from the word reply plus the ending -er, which means 'one who does', just like teacher or singer. Reply comes from the old parts re- 'back' and plicare 'to fold', so a replier is someone who 'sends words back' by answering a message.
