Productive agent noun formation from the verb 'whisper' with the regular suffix '-er', yielding 'one who whispers'.

Etymology

Whisperer comes from the verb whisper, which means 'to speak very quietly', plus the ending -er, which means 'one who does'. So a whisperer is simply 'one who whispers', a person who speaks in a soft, secret voice.
