A person or tool that crimps or creates ridges or waves in something.
From crimp (to press into ridges) + -er (one who does the action or a device that does it), with crimp possibly from Dutch krimpen or related Germanic roots.
Hair crimmers revolutionized hairstyling in the 1980s by mechanically creating waves, but the technique of crimping fabric goes back centuries to add texture and strength.
