Root Explanation

The word 'creaser' is derived from 'crease' (from Old French *creisser*, meaning to make a crease or fold) and the suffix '-er' (meaning a person who). A creaser is a person or tool that makes creases or folds in material.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'makes a crease' — that's what a creaser does, and the '-er' just means a person.
