Morphology

uniter = unite (transparent) = unite + er

Formed by the verb 'unite' + agentive suffix '-er'; a learner who knows 'unite' can infer an agent who brings things together.

Etymology

Uniter comes from the verb unite, which traces back to Latin unus meaning 'one'. So a uniter is a person who brings people or groups together to make them 'one', which explains why we call a leader who creates unity a uniter.
