People who crowd or push together; also, a type of traditional folk fiddle used in Britain and Appalachia.
From 'crowd' (a bowed string instrument, from Old Welsh 'crwth') + '-er' (one who does something). The word has dual origins: the instrument term comes from medieval Welsh, while the 'ones who crowd' sense follows standard English patterns.
The 'crowd' or 'crwth' is one of the oldest instruments still played—it was ancient when Shakespeare lived—and its name traveled from Welsh into English, where it spawned the word 'crowders' for its players.
