Morphology

clumper = clump (transparent) = clump + er

Agentive formation from the productive verb 'clump' + suffix '-er' yields 'one who clumps' or 'one who makes clumping sounds', a direct and regular derivation.

Etymology

Clumper comes from the common word clump plus the agent ending -er. Clump means 'a small mass' or 'a group', so a clumper is something or someone that forms or gathers things into clumps or groups.
