Wood-fed monster that turns whole trees into confetti and powers half of horror cinema's nightmares.
means A machine with rotating blades that shreds branches, limbs, and whole logs into wood chips or mulch.
from From 'chip,' the Old English 'cipp' meaning a small piece cut or struck off, plus the agent suffix '-er' — literally 'the thing that makes chips.' The 'cheerful, lively' sense of chipper is a separate word entirely, possibly from a northern English or Scots dialect root meaning to chirp like a bird; the two only sound alike, which makes for an unsettling coincidence given what this one does.
