Morphology

flogger = flog (transparent) = flog + er

Clear agent/instrument formation from the verb 'flog' with the productive suffix '-er', so the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Flogger comes from the simple verb flog meaning 'to whip' plus the ending -er meaning 'one who does something', as in writer or speaker. So a flogger is literally someone who whips others, or the tool used for that punishment.
