Morphology

sloucher = slouch (transparent) = slouch + er

Standard agentive formation: 'slouch' (verb) + '-er' yields 'person who slouches', a directly predictable meaning for learners.

Etymology

The word sloucher comes from the common verb slouch meaning 'to sit or stand with drooping shoulders', plus the ending -er meaning 'one who does something'. So a sloucher is literally 'one who slouches', which is why it means a person with a drooping or bad posture.
