Morphology

plumper = plump (transparent) = plump + er

The suffix '-er' is a standard comparative form, making the meaning 'more plump'.

Etymology

Plumper comes from plump, which means 'full, soft, and round', plus the ending -er meaning 'more'. So plumper simply means 'more full or round', which is why we call a juicier berry or a thicker cushion plumper.
