Morphology

storer = store (transparent) = store + er

Formed by the productive agentive suffix '-er' added to the verb 'store', so the meaning 'one who stores' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Storer comes from the common word store, which originally came from old words meaning 'to keep' or 'to supply'. So a storer is simply someone or something that keeps or saves items for later, like a warehouse or a squirrel.
