From alter (verb) plus -er (agent suffix forming nouns for people). Creates an agent noun describing one who performs the action of altering.
Tailors and seamstresses are classic 'alterers'—they modify clothes—but the word extends to anyone who remixes, edits, or transforms anything from music to documents to reality itself!
