Morphology

transplanter = transplant (transparent) = transplant + er

Formed by the verb 'transplant' + agentive suffix '-er', yielding 'one who transplants'; meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

The word transplanter comes from the parts trans- meaning 'across' and plant meaning 'a plant' or 'young plant', just like transport uses trans- to mean moving 'across'. So a transplanter is a person who moves plants from one place to another.
