Surface Forms

Maker singular
Makers plural

Morphology

Maker = make (transparent) = make + er

The agentive suffix '-er' combines with 'make' to form 'one who makes'; the meaning is directly derivable.

Etymology

The word Maker comes from the simple verb make, which means 'to make' or 'create', and the ending -er means 'one who does something'. So a Maker is 'one who makes', which is why people call God the Maker when they mean the creator of the world.
