A looker is someone people find good-looking, and in real use it is usually a woman: she’s a looker, quite a looker. It is informal, a little old-fashioned, and it treats the person as something to look at, so it can sound cheeky or dated; many speakers now prefer she’s beautiful or she’s striking. You may still hear it in chat, in older films, and in the set phrase a good looker. It does not mean a person whose job is to look (that would be a , an , a lookout). The -er here is “someone you look at”, not “someone who looks”.
正妹、大美女(口語,多指女性;帶一點把人當「好看的東西」的味道)
組成look + -er. From the verb look, with the old agent ending -er. Here the “agent” is a bit twisted: not the one who looks, but the one worth looking at.
