Morphology

rewarder = reward (transparent) = reward + er

Agentive suffix '-er' is productively added to the verb 'reward' to form a person or thing that gives rewards; meaning is directly predictable from the base.

Etymology

Rewarder comes from the simple word reward, which originally meant 'to give back' or 'to repay' for someone's good action, and the ending -er means 'one who does something'. So a rewarder is someone who gives a prize or payment to thank or pay someone for their work.
