From anti- (against) + saloon + -er (suffix denoting a person). Created during the American Temperance and Prohibition movements.
Antisalooners were basically the activists of the 1900s—they organized, campaigned, and eventually got an entire constitutional amendment passed, showing how organized people with a cause could remake laws.
