Someone who plays a fiddle or bowed string instrument; also someone who crowds or pushes into a group.
From Old English 'crwth,' a Welsh stringed instrument, plus the agent suffix '-er.' Crowders were medieval musicians who played at fairs and markets.
Crowders were among the first professional entertainers in medieval Europe—they'd travel villages with their fiddles, making them early equivalents of touring musicians, and their name comes directly from their instrument.
