Morphology

darer = dare (transparent) = dare + er

The agentive '-er' added to 'dare' yields 'one who dares' or 'a risk-taker', a direct and productive formation.

Etymology

Darer comes from dare ('to be brave') and the ending -er ('one who does'), so a darer is someone willing to take risks, like a 'daredevil' or a brave volunteer.
