Deformer refers to a person or thing that causes deformity or alteration in the shape, structure, or appearance of something. It is a noun derived from the verb "deform," which means to change the normal or expected shape or structure of an object, body part, or material.
In a general sense, a deformer can be an individual who physically distorts or disfigures an object or person deliberately. This can occur through manipulation, pressure, or intentional damage, resulting in a change of shape that deviates from the original form. For example, a sculptor may use various tools to be a deformer of clay, creating unique and intentional distortions to achieve artistic expression.
Additionally, deformer can be used in the context of digital technology, particularly in computer graphics and animation. In this sense, a deformer is a software tool that applies specific algorithms or mathematical operations to alter the shape, movement, or appearance of digital objects or characters. These deformers can simulate physical properties, such as elasticity or rigidity, and allow animators to create realistic and dynamic animations.
Overall, whether in a physical or digital context, a deformer is something or someone that brings about a deformation, deliberately changing the shape or structure of an object, body part, or digitally created entity.

The word deformer originates from the Latin verb deformare, which is a combination of de (meaning out of or away from) and forma (meaning shape or form). Deformare translates to to shape differently or to alter the shape. Over time, this Latin verb evolved into the Old French word deformer, which ultimately led to the English word deformer meaning someone or something that changes or distorts the shape or form of something.
