Morphology

chucker-out = chuck out (transparent) = chuck + out + er

Formed as an agent noun from the phrasal verb 'chuck out' + -er; meaning 'one who chucks out' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Chucker-out comes from chuck meaning 'to throw' and out, so it literally means someone who 'throws out' people from a place. That's why a chucker-out is the person you call to remove troublemakers from a pub, bar, or club.
