Plunger

Definisi: A plunger is a tool used primarily in plumbing for clearing blocked pipes or drains. It typically consists of a rubber suction cup attached to a long handle. The user pushes and pulls the handle to create suction, which can dislodge clogs in pipes.

Penggunaan: The term “plunger” can also refer to a device in other contexts, such as in a coffee maker (French press) where it is used to separate coffee grounds from the liquid. Additionally, in a more general sense, it can refer to a mechanism in machinery that functions by a down-and-up motion.

Etimologi: The word “plunger” comes from the verb “plunge,” which originates from the Middle English “plungen,” meaning to dive or to thrust into water, with roots in the Old French “plonger,” which also means to plunge or dive.
