Etymology

The word 'crusher' originated from the verb 'crush', which comes from the Old French word 'croissir', meaning 'to break, to smash'. The term evolved over time to refer to both a machine that crushes materials and a person who has a strong impact on others. Crushers have been used in various industries, including mining, construction, and recycling, to break down materials into smaller pieces for easier handling. The informal use of 'crusher' to describe an attractive or influential person is more recent, reflecting the evolving nature of language.
