Morphology

crease + machine

The compound 'creasing machine' is a straightforward, literal composition: a machine that creases (makes folds or presses visible marks) in paper or card. This follows a common, cross-linguistic noun + machine pattern, so a B1 learner who knows 'crease' and 'machine' can reliably infer the meaning.

Etymology

Creasing machine comes from the simple idea of creasing, making a line where paper folds, and a machine that does this. In printing and when people make books, a tool presses that line so pages and covers fold cleanly, so the name now means a device 'to make creases'.
