Morphology

zoner = zone (transparent) = zone + er

Formed by the productive agentive suffix '-er' on the verb 'zone' to indicate someone who creates or manages zones, which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Zoner comes from zone ('area') plus the ending -er ('one who does'). So a zoner is a person or tool that makes, divides, or manages areas, as in city planning.
