Morphology

recoverer = recover (transparent) = recover + er

Agentive noun formed directly from the verb 'recover' with the productive suffix '-er', so meaning is predictable from the base.

Etymology

The word recoverer comes from the parts re- meaning 'again' and cover meaning 'to hide or protect'. So a recoverer is someone who 'uncovers' or gets things back — a person who saves or retrieves items from danger or loss.
