Morphology

mimicker = mimic (transparent) = mimic + er

Standard agent-noun formation: 'mimic' (verb) + '-er' yields 'person who mimics', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Mimicker comes from mimic, which comes from the Greek word mimos, meaning 'imitator' or 'actor', and is the same root as mime. So a mimicker is someone who copies other people's voices, actions, or gestures.
