Morphology

buncher = bunch (transparent) = bunch + er

A regular agentive formation: 'bunch' (to gather) + '-er' yields 'one who bunches', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Buncher comes from the common word bunch (a small 'group' of things, like a bunch of flowers) plus the ending -er which means 'one who does' or a thing that does something. So a buncher is simply a person or machine that gathers or makes things into a 'bunch'.
