Morphology

rebutter = rebut (transparent) = rebut + er

Clear agentive formation from the verb 'rebut' using the productive suffix '-er'.

Etymology

Rebutter comes from the verb rebut, which in old French meant 'to push back' or 'drive back'. You can see the same root in rebuttal, so a rebutter is a person who 'pushes back' at someone else's argument by offering contrary evidence or reasons.
