Morphology

stomper = stomp (semi-transparent) = stomp + er

The word is formed from 'stomp' + '-er', but the musical sense is a somewhat specialized extension from the idea of stomping or beating heavily.

Etymology

Stomper comes from stomp, like stamp, meaning 'to hit the ground with your foot', and by image it became a name for a lively song with a strong beat that makes people want to stamp their feet. So a musical stomper is a tune that gets the crowd dancing and stomping along.
