Etymology: "Misshapers" is the plural of "misshaper," a noun formed from the verb "misshape" plus the agent suffix "-er," so it names those who shape things badly or distort them. The word is built entirely from English parts, and its meaning follows directly from them: "misshape" means to shape wrongly or deform, and the suffix "-er" marks a person or thing that performs the action, as in "baker" or "walker."
