Morphology

swisher = swish (semi-transparent) = swish + er

The form clearly adds '-er' to 'swish', but the stylistic meaning is somewhat lexicalized and not fully predictable for all learners.

Etymology

Swisher for a stylish mover is a simple build from swish (a smooth, showy movement that makes a soft noise) and -er ('one who does'). So a swisher is someone who moves in a smooth, attention-getting way.
