Morphology

spurrier = spur (semi-transparent) = spur + er

Formed from the verb 'spur' + agentive '-er'; the figurative extension from physical spurring to someone who encourages others is predictable but slightly metaphorical.

Etymology

Spurrier can also mean someone who urges others to act; this sense comes from the same word spur, the small sharp tool used to 'push' a horse. So a spurrier is like a person who 'pushes' people to move forward or try harder.
