Morphology
screever = screeve (opaque) = screeve + er
Formed with the regular agentive suffix '-er' on a rare/dialectal verb, so learners unfamiliar with 'screeve' will not reliably infer the specific senses.
Etymology
Screever comes from an old word that means 'to write', the same root you see in scribe and scribble. Street artists who draw pictures or write on the pavement to earn money took this name because they were 'writing' or drawing on the ground.
