Morphology

caresser = caress (transparent) = caress + er

Standard agentive formation: 'caress' + '-er' yields 'one who caresses', so the meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Caresser comes from an old root meaning 'dear' or 'beloved', the same idea behind the English word cherish. So a caresser is someone who gently touches or strokes to show love and comfort.
