Morphology

roarer = roar (transparent) = roar + er

Standard agentive suffix '-er' added to the verb 'roar' yields an agent noun meaning 'one who roars', which is directly inferable.

Etymology

Roarer comes from the sound word roar, which copies 'a loud, deep sound', and the ending -er means 'one who does'. So a roarer is 'one who makes a roar', someone or something you can hear above others.
