Morphology

measurer = measure (transparent) = measure + er

Standard agent nominalization formed from the verb 'measure' with the productive suffix '-er'; meaning is directly derived.

Etymology

Measurer comes from the verb measure, which means 'to find size or amount', and it shares the same idea as meter, a tool that measures. So a measurer is a person or device that finds the size, amount, or degree of something.
