Morphology

succeeder = succeed (transparent) = succeed + er

The agentive suffix '-er' added to the verb 'succeed' yields 'one who succeeds', a straightforward, productively formed agent noun.

Etymology

The word succeeder comes from succeed, which has the parts sub- 'under' and cedere 'go' and originally meant to 'come after' or 'take the place'. So, a succeeder is someone who goes after their goal and reaches success.
