Morphology

walloper = wallop (transparent) = wallop + er

Derived straightforwardly from the verb 'wallop' with the agentive '-er' meaning 'one who beats or defeats', which matches the sense of a decisive winner.

Etymology

Walloper comes from the verb wallop, which means 'to hit' or 'strike'. So a walloper can be someone who 'hits' their opponents hard — in other words, a clear winner who beats others by a large margin.
