Morphology

darer = dare (transparent) = dare + er

Formed by the productive agentive suffix '-er' attached to the verb 'dare', so the meaning 'one who dares' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Darer is formed from dare ('to be brave or to challenge') plus -er ('one who does it'), so a darer is the person who dares others, the one who gives the dare at a game or party.
