Morphology

offerer = offer (transparent) = offer + er

Standard agent nominalization from the verb 'offer' using the productive suffix '-er', meaning 'one who offers'.

Etymology

The word offerer comes from the verb offer, which comes from the Latin parts ob- 'to' and ferre 'to bring', and you can see the same idea of 'bringing' in words like transfer or ferry. So an offerer is someone who 'brings' or presents an offer to another person.
