Morphology

slobberer = slobber (transparent) = slobber + er

Formed by the verb 'slobber' plus the agentive suffix '-er'; the meaning 'one who slobbers' is directly predictable.

Etymology

The word slobberer comes from the verb slobber, which copies the wet, messy sound of drooling, plus the ending -er meaning 'a person who'. So a slobberer is a person, often a baby or an animal, who 'drools'.
