Morphology

bypasser = bypass (semi-transparent) = by + pass + er

The meaning of 'bypasser' as someone who circumvents a rule is not directly derivable from 'bypass' and 'er'.

Etymology

The word bypasser comes from bypass (from by 'around' and pass 'go past') plus -er, so it can mean a person who 'goes around' rules or systems to avoid them.
