Morphology

shouter = shout (transparent) = shout + er

The word 'shouter' is transparently derived from 'shout' with the addition of the agentive suffix '-er', indicating someone who performs the action.

Etymology

Shouter comes from the verb shout plus the ending -er. Shout means 'a loud call' and -er means 'someone who does', just like in singer or driver, so a shouter is a person who speaks or calls very loudly.
