Morphology

raver = rave (transparent) = rave + er

Standard agentive formation from the verb 'rave' (to speak wildly) to denote a person who raves.

Etymology

Raver also comes from an older sense of rave, which meant 'to speak or act wildly' or 'to rant', so a raver can mean a person who shouts or rages in an uncontrolled way.
