A person or thing that combines elements together, or a device that merges things like agricultural machinery for harvesting.
From combine (verb) plus the suffix -er meaning 'one who does.' The term combines was also used for harvesting machines since the 1800s, shortening 'combine harvester.'
Combine harvesters literally combine multiple farming operations—they cut, thresh, and separate grain all at once, revolutionizing agriculture in the early 1900s!
