Crummer

/ˈkrʌmər/ noun

Definition

Something or someone that crums, or a device used for breaking things into crumbs or small pieces.

Etymology

Agent noun formed from 'crum' plus the suffix '-er,' following the standard English pattern of adding '-er' to verbs to create nouns for tools, people, or things that perform the action.

Kelly Says

Like 'baker' comes from 'bake' and 'runner' from 'run,' 'crummer' shows how English builds vocabulary by adding '-er'—it's one of our most productive word-building tools.
