Morphology

sipper = sip (transparent) = sip + er

The noun is formed from 'sip' + '-er' with an instrumentive reading (a container or device for sipping), which is a regular and guessable derivation.

Etymology

Sipper comes from the simple word sip and the ending -er, where sip means 'to drink slowly'. That's why a sipper can also be a cup or bottle that helps you drink slowly and often has a spout or straw.
