Someone who saves another person from danger or serious difficulty.

means A person who saves someone from danger or difficulty.

from From 'rescue,' borrowed from Old French 'rescourre' — 're-' (back, again) plus 'escourre' (to shake out, drive off), itself from Latin 'excutere,' to shake out or off. The root image is literal: shaking someone loose from whatever's gripping them. The '-er' suffix just names the one doing the shaking.
