Morphology

representer = represent (transparent) = represent + er

Derived by adding the productive agent suffix '-er' to 'represent' yielding 'a person who represents, portrays, or embodies'.

Etymology

Representer comes from the parts re- 'again' and present 'to show', like the word presenter. A helpful way to remember this is to think of a stage actor: a representer 'shows' a character to the audience and so 'stands for' that person on stage.
