soapmaker = make (transparent) = soap + make + er

The suffix '-er' is transparently used to denote a person or entity that performs the action of making.

Etymology

The word soapmaker is a simple compound: soap means 'a cleaning bar' and maker means 'someone who makes things'. So a soapmaker is a person or business that 'makes soap', often by mixing animal fat and wood ashes to make bars for washing.
