Morphology

teamer = team (semi-transparent) = team + er

The form is clearly built from 'team' + '-er', but the resulting meaning 'a member of a team' is somewhat informal and not fully predictable from the suffix alone.

Etymology

The word teamer is made of team + -er, and today team usually means a 'group of people working together', so a teamer is simply a member of that group. That's why calling someone a teamer means they belong to and work with a team.
