Morphology

massacrer = massacre (semi-transparent) = massacre + er

Agentive formation is clear, but the sense has extended metaphorically to overwhelming defeat rather than literal killing, which may not be obvious to all learners.

Etymology

A helpful way to remember the second sense of massacrer is to think of the English word massacre, which people also use to mean 'destroy completely' in a game or fight. So a massacrer can be a person, team, or thing that overwhelms and defeats opponents by a large amount.
