means A rocker is something that rocks or curves to enable rocking motion — most often a curved strip of wood on the bottom of a chair or cradle, or by extension the chair itself, and also a devotee of rock music.
from From the verb 'rock,' which comes from Old English 'roccian,' meaning to move a child gently to and fro — the soothing motion of a cradle. The musical 'rocker' is a much younger cousin, born from 'rock and roll,' a 20th-century phrase that swung from words for swaying motion into the name of a whole genre.
