Morphology

whipper = whip (transparent) = whip + er

Agent/instrument nominalization from 'whip' with '-er' (device or person that whips/stirs), a standard morphological pattern.

Etymology

Whipper also comes from the word whip meaning 'to move quickly or beat' and the ending -er meaning 'one or something that does', so it can mean a person or a device that whips, beats, or stirs food quickly, like a cream whipper.
