Morphology

riser = rise (transparent) = rise + er

Standard agentive nominalization: 'riser' = someone who rises (e.g., gets up from bed), which is directly predictable from 'rise' + '-er'.

Etymology

Riser comes from rise + -er, where rise means 'to get up'. An early riser is someone who 'gets up' early, so the word simply names the person who 'rises' at a regular time.
