Where the word comes from
A corer is a tool for removing the core from fruit, particularly apples. The word comes from "core," which traces back to Middle English and Old French "cor," possibly from Latin "cor" meaning "heart." The suffix "-er" denotes a tool or instrument that performs an action. So a corer is literally the instrument that removes what was once metaphorically called the "heart" of the fruit.
