Morphology

spoofer = spoof (transparent) = spoof + er

Clear agentive formation meaning 'one who spoofs' (i.e., one who parodies or imitates); the derivation is directly comprehensible.

Etymology

Spoofer comes from the word spoof, meaning 'a funny copy', and the ending -er meaning 'someone who does it'. A spoofer copies voices or scenes to make a joke or parody, so a spoofer is a performer who makes fun by imitating someone.
