Morphology

sprouter = sprout (transparent) = sprout + er

Formed regularly from 'sprout' + '-er' as an agent/instrument; learners who know 'sprout' can infer the meaning.

Etymology

Sprouter comes from sprout, which means 'to push up' or 'start to grow' like a young plant, and the ending -er means 'something that does'. So a sprouter is a tool that helps seeds push up and become tiny plants.
