Morphology

wencher = wench (opaque) = wench + er

The word is historically built from 'wench' + '-er', but the modern meaning 'womanizer' is not fully predictable from the base word and is strongly lexicalized.

Etymology

Wencher comes from the older English word wench, which first meant 'a young woman' and later was used for a 'prostitute'. So a wencher is someone who often seeks the company of such women.
