Root Explanation

The word 'clumper' originates from the Middle English 'clumpen', meaning to make a clump or to gather into a mass, and the suffix '-er', which denotes a person or thing that performs a specified action. Therefore, 'clumper' refers to a person or thing that clumps or gathers together.

Memory Tip

Think of someone or something that 'gathers' ('clumpen') things into a 'mass' — that's what a clumper does.
