Surface Forms

bellower singular

Morphology

bellower = bellow (transparent) = bellow + er

Formed from the verb 'bellow' with the agentive suffix '-er', meaning 'one who bellows', which is directly deducible.

Etymology

Bellower comes from the verb bellow, an old word that copies the sound of a loud roar, and the ending -er means 'a person who'. So a bellower is someone who 'roars' or shouts in a very loud voice.
