Morphology

sower = sow (transparent) = sow + er

The agentive suffix '-er' added to the verb 'sow' yields a person who sows, a straightforward and productive derivation.

Etymology

The word sower comes from the old verb sow, which means 'to plant by scattering seeds'. A sower is therefore literally a person who walks a field and scatters seeds, which is exactly how we use the word today.
