Morphology

booter = boot (semi-transparent) = boot + er

Formed from the verb 'boot' meaning 'to force offline', but this is a specialized/slang technical sense that may not be obvious to general learners.

Etymology

The word booter for an online attack tool comes from the idea of 'booting' someone offline, like a hard kick that knocks a server off the network, so a booter is a service that 'kicks' websites or players offline.
