Morphology
faster = fast (transparent) = fast + er
The word 'faster' is transparently derived from 'fast' with the comparative suffix '-er', indicating a higher degree of speed.
Etymology
Faster is the simple combination of fast and the ending -er; fast means 'quick' and -er means 'more', so faster means 'more quickly' or 'at a greater speed'.
