Morphology

spewer = spew (transparent) = spew + er

Agentive derivation is straightforward; the sense is a figurative extension (someone who 'spews' abusive comments) but remains predictable from the base.

Etymology

The word spewer comes from the verb spew 'to send out' or 'to spit', and you can imagine someone 'spitting' angry words. So an informal spewer is a person who keeps throwing out angry or abusive comments, especially online.
