Morphology

pourer = pour (transparent) = pour + er

Agentive noun formed by the productive suffix '-er' added to the verb 'pour', meaning 'one who pours' or a device that pours.

Etymology

Pourer is simply the verb pour plus the ending -er; pour means 'to make liquid flow' and -er means 'one who does something', like in teacher. So a pourer is 'one who pours', whether a person or a small device that lets liquid flow from one container to another.
