Morphology

revolter = revolt (semi-transparent) = revolt + er

Formally 'revolt' + '-er' yields 'one who causes to revolt' (i.e., causes disgust), but this agentive sense is less common and learners more often know the adjective 'revolting', so derivation may not be obvious.

Etymology

Revolter can also mean something that causes strong disgust and is related to the adjective revolting, from the same root meaning 'turn away'. That is why a revolter is something that makes people 'turn away' in disgust.
