Etymology: "Sleever" is a simple formation: it takes the noun "sleeve" and adds the suffix "-er", which in English turns a verb or noun into a word for a person or thing that performs an action or is associated with something. Here the base is the noun "sleeve," so "sleever" points to someone or something connected with sleeves, most plausibly a worker who makes, fits, or handles sleeves, or a device used in putting sleeves on or over something.
