Cruncher

/ˈkrʌntʃər/ noun

Definition

Something or someone that crunches; a device or tool that crushes something with a crunching sound.

Etymology

From 'crunch' (onomatopoetic verb) plus the agent suffix '-er,' following the standard English pattern of creating nouns for things that perform actions.

Kelly Says

A cruncher can be literally anyone or anything—your teeth are crunchers, a cereal is a cruncher, a machine is a cruncher—English lets one simple agent noun describe an infinite variety of actions.
