Morphology

pronouncer = pronounce (transparent) = pronounce + er

Regular agentive '-er' from 'pronounce'; the sense 'one who pronounces authoritatively' is a predictable extension.

Etymology

Pronouncer comes from pronounce, from pro- 'forth' and nuntiare 'announce', which is like the word 'announce'. So a pronouncer who speaks about taste or policy is someone who 'gives public statements' or 'declares' judgments, and the origin explains why their words sound official.
