Morphology

valuer = value (transparent) = value + er

Clear agentive formation from the verb 'value' plus '-er'; a learner knowing 'value' and the agentive '-er' will infer 'person who values'.

Etymology

The word valuer comes from the Latin root val meaning 'to be worth', the same root in value and valid. So a valuer is someone who decides how much something is 'worth'.
