A machine that turns your optimism about fitting more in the bin into lies.
means A machine or device that crushes material under force to squeeze it into a smaller volume.
from Built from 'compact,' which traces to Latin 'compactus,' the past participle of 'compingere' — 'com-' (together) plus 'pangere' (to fasten, fix). So a compactor is, at its root, a 'fastener-togetherer': something that drives pieces into a tight, fixed mass. The '-or' suffix just names the agent that does the compacting, same pattern as 'actor' or 'inventor.'
