Morphology

slapper = slap (opaque) = slap + er

The slang derogatory sense 'promiscuous woman' is not predictable from the literal action 'slap' and reflects a slang sense shift.

Etymology

Slapper is also an offensive slang word for a woman seen as sexually loose; it comes from the same parts slap ('to hit with an open hand') and -er ('one who'), and in British slang the meaning changed into an insult. A helpful way to remember this slang use is to think of a short, harsh 'slap' as a quick judgment, which is why the word is insulting.
