Morphology

ravisher = ravish (semi-transparent) = ravish + er

The agentive form 'ravisher' is built from 'ravish' in the sense 'to enrapture/delight'; the meaning 'an extremely attractive woman' is metaphorical and literary rather than a strictly literal agentive role.

Etymology

Ravisher can also mean a very attractive person. It comes from ravish and the old word rapere meaning 'to seize' or 'carry away', so you can think of a ravisher as someone who 'carries away' others with their beauty, like being 'carried away' by strong feeling, a bit like the word rapture.
