Etymology
The word pulper comes from the common word pulp, which means the 'soft, wet part' of fruit or of paper, plus the ending -er, which means 'one who does' or a tool that does it. So a pulper is a person or machine that crushes or removes pulp, which is why we use it to make paper or to get juice from fruit.
