Morphology

preferrer = prefer (transparent) = prefer + er

Standard agentive formation from the verb 'prefer' meaning 'to like or choose', yielding 'one who prefers'.

Etymology

Preferrer comes from the parts pre- ('before') and fer ('to carry'), so it literally means 'to put one thing before another' — think of transfer for the fer part, which means 'to move' or 'carry'. So a preferrer is someone who chooses or likes one thing more than another.
