Morphology

truster = trust (transparent) = trust + er

Agent noun formed by adding the productive suffix '-er' to the verb 'trust'; meaning 'one who trusts' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Truster is simply the verb trust plus the agent ending -er, so it means 'a person who believes in or has confidence in someone or something.' The root trust comes from an old Norse and old English word meaning 'help' or 'confidence', which is why a truster is someone who gives trust to others.
