A person or tool that grasps; something used to hold or grab things tightly.
From grasp + -er suffix (denoting an agent or tool that performs the action); developed in English to describe both living and mechanical graspers.
Robot designers use 'graspers' as fingers, and this word shows how engineering borrows everyday language—a robot's mechanical gripper is just a high-tech version of your hand.
