Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: mount v., -er suffix¹.

Etymology: < mount v. + -er suffix¹.

Also figurative: an ambitious person, a person attempting to rise in power, status, etc.The sense in quot. 1581 is ambiguous; mounter could conceivably have the sense ‘something upon which one is mounted’, but the context makes it more likely to have the sense ‘something which rises up’.
