Morphology

trapper = trap (semi-transparent) = trap + er

The form is regular noun plus -er, but the base 'trap' has a specialized music-genre meaning that many learners may not know.

Etymology

Trapper in music is formed from trap and -er, the same pattern as rapper, where -er means 'someone who'. Here trap came from street slang for 'a place where drugs are sold', and trap music grew from stories of that life, so a trapper is a musician who makes or performs trap songs.
