Morphology

streeter = street (semi-transparent) = street + er

Although the word is formed regularly, the sense of someone who spends much time on the street socializing is not fully predictable from the component parts alone.

Etymology

Streeter comes from street + -er ('one who'), and it describes a person who spends a lot of time on the street and meets people there. So a streeter can be someone who socializes in public places and knows the local life.
