Nibbler
/ˈnɪb.lɚ/noun
A person or thing that nibbles; also, a small animal or device that bites or cuts in tiny bites.
Did you know?*Nibble* is an expressive English word of uncertain deeper origin, but it very likely grew out of older bite-words like *nip* and *knap*, showing how English often names action through sound before scholars can pin it down.
