Morphology

shedder = shed (transparent) = shed + er

The agentive suffix '-er' straightforwardly forms 'one who sheds', so learners can derive 'person who sheds blood' from 'shed' + '-er'.

Etymology

The word shedder comes from the common verb shed, which means 'to let fall' or 'to lose' (as in 'shed tears' or 'shed hair'), and the ending -er, meaning 'person who does something'. So a shedder is literally a person who 'lets fall' something, and in this sense it means someone who causes 'blood' to be spilled.
