Born to flatten, named to intimidate, and somehow also a roller-skating Star Trek doctor.
means A person, machine, or device that crushes — that is, presses or compresses something forcefully enough to break, flatten, or pulverize it.
from From 'crush' plus the agent suffix '-er,' the workhorse ending that turns any verb into the thing or person doing it. 'Crush' itself arrived in Middle English from the Old French 'croissir' or 'cruisir,' meaning to gnash, smash, or break — likely echoing the sound of the act itself, the crunch of something giving way. So 'crusher' is simply 'the one that crushes,' a word built as plainly and bluntly as the thing it names.
