Morphology

clammer = clamor (semi-transparent) = clamor + er

The meaning is clear if one knows clamor, but the spelling of clammer is not the standard agent noun form.

Etymology

Clammer in the sense of a noisy protester comes from the root clamare 'to shout', the same root as clamor and exclaim, so a clammer is someone who loudly and repeatedly demands something.
