Surface Forms

trumper singular
trumpers plural

Morphology

trumper = trump (opaque) = trump + er

The form is built as 'trump' + '-er', but the boaster sense depends on an older figurative use of 'trump' and is not easy to infer.

Etymology

Trumper comes from the idea of someone who 'trumpets' — like a trumpet making a loud announcement — so a trumper is someone who loudly brags.
