Morphology

asserter = assert (transparent) = assert + er

Productive agentive formation from the verb 'assert' with the common suffix '-er', so the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Asserter comes from the verb assert, which originally meant 'to state or declare', and the ending -er means 'a person who does something'. So an asserter is simply someone who confidently says or affirms that something is true.
