Morphology

smasher = smash (opaque) = smash + er

The use of 'smasher' to describe an attractive woman is idiomatic and not directly derivable from 'smash'.

Etymology

Smasher comes from smash ('to break') and -er ('one who'); a helpful way to remember this use is to imagine someone so beautiful they 'knock you out' or 'break' your heart. So calling someone a smasher means they are strikingly attractive.
