enterer = enter (transparent) = enter + er

Regular agentive formation: '-er' added to the verb 'enter' yields 'one who enters', a directly deducible meaning for learners.

Etymology

Enterer comes from the verb enter, which means 'go into', plus the ending -er meaning 'one who does'. So an enterer is literally someone or something that goes into a place or puts data into a system.
