A person who flogs or beats someone; one who administers flogging as punishment.
From 'flog' plus the agent suffix '-er' (one who does the action), a standard English pattern for occupational or role-based nouns.
Words like 'flogger' are remnants of darker times—they remind us that corporal punishment was once so common it had its own specialized job titles, which modern society has largely abandoned.
