the original gangster of motion, turning hunger and gravity into pure forward thrust
means A hopper is a person, animal, or machine that hops, or a funnel-shaped container that feeds material downward into a chute or machine by gravity.
from From the verb "hop," which goes back to Old English "hoppian," to spring or leap — a word echoed across the Germanic languages with cousins like Old Norse "hoppa" and German "hopfen." The leaping critter sense (think grasshopper) is old and obvious. The container sense came later and is charmingly logical: early grain and mill hoppers were given a shaking or jolting motion to keep the contents tumbling forward, so the box that hopped earned the name from the hop it performed.
