Morphology

extoller = extol (transparent) = extol + er

Clear agentive formation from the verb 'extol' with '-er' yielding 'one who praises'; meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

The word extoller comes from the verb extol, which breaks into ex- 'up' and tollere 'to lift'. So an extoller is someone who 'lifts up' people or ideas with praise, meaning a public, enthusiastic praiser.
