Morphology

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

Same morphological build as the agent noun, extended by slang to refer to the mouth or lips via metonymy, so the semantic link is indirect.

Etymology

Used as slang for 'mouth' or 'lips', kisser points to the part of the face you kiss, so saying someone wiped their kisser simply means they cleaned their mouth.
