Morphology

trudger = trudge (transparent) = trudge + er

The agentive suffix '-er' added to the verb 'trudge' yields a person who trudges, which is directly inferable.

Etymology

The word trudger comes from the verb trudge, which means 'to walk slowly and with effort'. The ending -er means 'one who does something', so a trudger is someone who moves in a slow, heavy way, often because they are tired or the path is hard.
