Morphology

kisser = kiss (semi-transparent) = kiss + er

Derived from 'kiss' + '-er' but used metonymically to mean 'face' (the part used to kiss), so the relation is figurative rather than strictly compositional.

Etymology

Kisser is also used informally to mean 'face' because the face is the place you kiss; that's why the joking phrase 'a punch in the kisser' means a hit to the face.
